Cynthia Erivo And Adam Lambert's Jesus Christ Superstar Needs To Tour
Cynthia Erivo (Jesus) and Adam Lambert (Judas), Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl gave a sold-out crowd the son of God for an era accustomed to Gaga theatrics. Farah Sosa This won't be pleasant to hear but if you missed Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend, you really lost out on seeing one of the great and memorable stage extravaganzas that Los Angeles has witnessed in recent years. For three nights on a Bowl set as dramatic and luminous as a tabernacle vision, the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice found life in a new form that at times felt like a full-blown conversion. With the Mercurial (and by that, I mean Freddie) Adam Lambert as Judas, an otherworldly Cynthia Erivo as Jesus (bold casting that outperformed even scriptural expectations) and a supporting cast that included no less than Phillipa Soo from the original Hamilton cast as Mary Magdalene and Josh Gad ( Book of Mormon , Frozen ) as Herod, the 55-year-old Broadway classic suddenly felt as if the heavens themselves had a hand in the production. Okay, let me walk that back a little. It was a fantastic show. But it wasn't so much an update of the original 1970s rock opera as a one-of-a-kind arena-style blowout that let us see what these charismatic powerhouse belters could do with this vintage material. It's the son of God for an era accustomed to Gaga theatrics. You want the Passion of Christ? We'll give you Passion like you've never seen. If you missed the Hollywood Bowl production of Superstar this weekend, you missed a revelation on stage. Farah Sosa Of course, spectacle was part of the JCS program from the beginning. The show originated in 1970 when up-and-coming composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice teamed up to record a concept album that retold the last week of Jesus's life through rock music, an audacious conceit that pushed the LP to the top of the Billboard charts. The following year, Jesus Christ Superstar premiered on Broadway and in London's West End to mixed reactions. ' Superstar seemed to me less than super,' The New York Times critic Clive Barnes wrote in reviewing the original. In 1973 Norman Jewison's film brought the story to cinemas, complete with Carpenters'–style production values and standout performances by singer Yvonne Elliman and others. Through the '80s and '90s it enjoyed frequent revivals—most notably a 1996 West End run and a 2000 U.S. tour—before a critically acclaimed 2012 Broadway revival reintroduced it to a new generation. Since then it's been mounted everywhere from regional stages to international tours, spawned a live TV concert in 2018 and continues to resonate since the themes of fame, betrayal, and political theater haven't exactly gone out of fashion. Under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl, the gospel-tinged guitars and driving riffs were familiar from the album (you could see people of a certain age mouthing along to every single word). But director and choreographer Sergio Trujillo made sure this version never felt like a throwback. From the first strains of 'Heaven on Their Minds,' Judas's betrayal unfolded against a shifting backdrop of LED panels and pulsing lights, while the orchestra—directed by Stephen Oremus—loosed the score behind a digital curtain, from delicate flute solos in 'Damned for All Time' to full-throated electric roars in the title number. Erivo's Gethsemane: A standing ovation that offsets the controversy There's been some online hand-waving around the 'controversy' of casting a queer Black woman to play the Messiah, but please—Erivo as J.C. wowed audiences as dramatically here as in The Color Purple on Broadway or even on screen with Wicked . Her stirring, affecting wails and torch-ery on 'What's the Buzz,' 'Everything's Alright' and 'The Temple' had a capacity crowd of 17,500 riveted, and that was before the three-minute, mid-act standing ovation Erivo got in the second half for 'Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say).' People everywhere had tears streaming right along with Erivo's. Lambert, meanwhile, reveled in Judas's arc from swagger to ruin, balancing streetwise regret with near-mythic torment. Could any other contemporary singer — aside from perhaps Gaga herself — bring the same combination of goth-rock swagger, heartbreak and glittery stoke to lines like: 'You have set them all on fire / They think they've found the new Messiah / And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong!' I think not. Josh Gad recovered from COVID in time to make the last two performances as King Herod. John Stamos filled in on Friday night, to mixed reviews Elisabeth Asher Why Jesus Christ Superstar deserves an even bigger stage It's not to say the show was perfect. People are still sniveling about poor John Stamos stepping in at the last minute on Friday night as Herod to 'speak sing' the part for Gad, who was out that night with COVID (Gad appeared to be making up for lost time on Sunday with Vegas-style over-the-top kitsch as the ruler of Galilee). And the choreography wasn't exactly on the same epic level as the vocals. But here's my real gripe: Jesus Christ Superstar only got three nights. This thing could storm Broadway, crisscross the country or pitch an actual revival-tent tour and still pack the house for years. Don't lose Erivo or Lambert, that's for sure. But cut it loose from the Bowl and you'd have a transfiguring phenomenon on your hands—one that would keep the faithful and the curious coming back from now 'til kingdom come.

A major undertaking for her style team, she says, was the Tony Awards on June 8. Erivo hosted the event and sported a total of 10 outfits throughout the night, each paying homage to a nominated play. Erivo's red and white glittery gown by Zac Posen was a tribute to Annie, while her black Richard Quinn ensemble — featuring long black gloves and a diamond necklace — was in line with the Hamilton reunion, in which all the actors wore black. Her final look, a bold purple dress by Paul Tazewell, paid homage to The Color Purple and Death Becomes Her.

If it doesn't feel good to wear, we're not wearing it. And if I love it and it feels good, then I'll be wearing it. And it can be as avant-garde or as classic as it wants to be, as long as we know what story we're telling, and it feels good to tell that story, then I'll be in it. We have a good time. And hopefully, we'll be having a good time this time round as well." Read the original article on People

John Stamos jumps into Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl in last-minute casting change
John Stamos has joined the starry cast of the Hollywood Bowl's Jesus Christ Superstar concert, replacing Josh Gad after he was forced to withdraw from the first performances. The Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical is set to be performed at the iconic Los Angeles venue this weekend, with a cast led by Wicked's Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and singer Adam Lambert as Judas. The show opened Friday and runs until Sunday. Stamos shared the news Friday on his Instagram, just one day after Gad announced he had contracted Covid-19 and would need to step away from his role as King Herod. 'This is an honor. A dream. And also a little insane because… I just stepped off a plane from @thebeachboys tour in Spain and have less than 24 hours to pull this off,' the Full House star wrote in part. 'Wish me luck. And let's rock the Bowl.' Gad had been slated to play King Herod, but shared his Covid-19 diagnosis Thursday along with the news that he would no longer be able to perform. 'Rarely have I had the opportunity to witness up close such profound brilliance and artistry," he wrote on Instagram. 'I am truly bummed that I will not be able to perform this evening with this cast. But I am so excited for all of you to witness firsthand what I have been fortunate and honored enough to experience over the past three weeks." However, by Friday the Frozen star had tested negative. Gad, who credited Paxlovid with helping his symptoms subside, then confirmed Saturday that he would return to the production Sunday. Stamos will perform Saturday night. Jesus Christ Superstar was first released as a concept album in 1970 and premiered on Broadway in 1971. It has been revived several times since. Joining Stamos, Gad, Erivo, and Lambert in the cast are Hamilton star Phillipa Soo as Mary Magdalene, Milo Manheim as Peter, and Raúl Esparza as Pontius Pilate, along with a supporting cast and ensemble filled with fellow Broadway performers. Fans have raved about the concert on social media, with many calling Erivo's performance as Jesus a 'top theater moment.' 'If you're watching Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl this weekend, brace yourself for a truly unforgettable performance,' entertainment reporter Ashley Lee wrote on X. 'Most beautiful production i have EVER been to. jesus christ superstar at the hollywood bowl you will live forever in my heart !!!!' someone else wrote. 'Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl was nothing short of spectacular. Adam Lambert was PERFECT. Cynthia Erivo's Gethsemane was one of the best live performances I've ever seen. If there's a single ticket left - Go!' another shared. The Hollywood Bowl is known to produce star-studded concert versions of hit Broadway shows. In recent years, the venue has produced Kinky Boots, Les Misérables, Rent, Guys and Dolls, Into the Woods, and Hairspray, among others.
