Hollywood Bowl’s bold Jesus Christ Superstar

Cynthia Erivo is taking center stage as a Black, queer woman playing Jesus in a new Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and the casting is shaking things up. Adam Lambert, starring as Judas, says the show’s meant to challenge and provoke, just like it did back in 1971. With only nine days of rehearsal, this powerhouse cast is ready to blow the audience away. Erivo’s casting has sparked controversy, but the team hopes people will come with open minds and experience the story in a whole new light. Would you see this show? What do you think about reimagining classic roles? #Religion #HollywoodBowl #JesusChristSuperstar
