A Black, queer Jesus ‘sings her face off,' and L.A. cheers
They called her revelatory, even legendary. They marveled at her voice and her power. The harshest critics were gentle, only wondering if the star of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' could have hit an even higher high note in the show's most gripping moment. It felt like Cynthia Erivo owned Los Angeles last weekend, her groundbreaking Jesus jousting with Adam Lambert's Judas and an all-star cast to sell out the 17,500-seat Hollywood Bowl for three straight nights. It felt like they could have sold out another 30. I went to Friday's opening night with my wife, who sang along with the show's soaring anthems, just as she has since she got the album in the 1970s. When they weren't whooping and shouting 'brava,' many in the euphoric crowd swayed along, hands held high in praise. The show was also so-L.A. for what it wasn't: a scene of controversy or hard feelings. While there had been a few recriminations from the political right when the producers named Erivo as their Jesus earlier this year, the naysayers seemed to take the weekend off. So there was Erivo — just like any other 5-foot-1, queer Black woman portraying the son of God — wrapped in the City of Angels' warmest embrace. Her most riveting moment came during 'Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say)' the song that explores Jesus' ambivalence at having to give up his life for God and the greater good. Virtually doubled over by the force of her rendition, the audience rewarded the diminutive Jesus with a two-minute standing ovation. Erivo remained composed, until she wasn't. As the audience's adulation continued to swell, she touched her hand to her heart, new tears dripping onto the stage. Her gesture felt like a sign of gratitude, 'having just conquered a beloved number that was previously unavailable to her as a female actor,' Playbill's critic said. Like Erivo, Lambert reveled in the moment, meeting his pre-performance prediction that the cast would 'sing the house down.' When it debuted on Broadway in 1971, traditionalists found many reasons to loathe 'JCS.' They rejected its infusion of slang into a holy setting, the suggestion of a romantic connection between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, the lack of a resurrection, and more. Lambert noted that the world has changed enough that a rock opera about Jesus no longer feels provocative. 'Working with the identity of the casting is sort of the new edge,' Lambert, a former 'American Idol' star, who is gay, told an interviewer from USA Today. Last weekend, more than 50,000 people showed their love for that edge. 'Why not?' Erivo said in an interview before the performance. 'You can't please everyone. It is legitimately a three-day performance at the Hollywood Bowl where I get to sing my face off. So hopefully they will come and realize, 'Oh, it's a musical, the gayest place on Earth.''

Exclusive: Roku launches Howdy, a cheap, ad-free streaming service
Roku is ready to say Howdy. The company − which sells set-top streaming devices, smart TVs and has its own free, ad-supported streaming service, The Roku Channel − wants to make your streaming life cheaper and easier. And they're doing it by introducing a new, low-cost service that won't make you sit through commercials between episodes of your favorite old sitcoms. USA TODAY can exclusively reveal that Roku is launching Howdy on Tuesday, Aug. 5: For just $2.99 a month, Roku device users can stream a library of "thousands" of titles and nearly 10,000 hours of content, all commercial-free. The movies and TV shows on the service come from partners such as Lionsgate, Warner Bros. Discovery and FilmRise. Want to save money on your streaming? It's time to embrace commercials Howdy will initially only be available on Roku devices, but has plans to roll out on mobile and other platforms "in the near future," the company says. Among the titles available on launch day are films like "Elvis," "Mad Max: Fury Road," "Back to the Future" and TV series like "Weeds" and "Party Down." Exclusively using "library content" might not seem as ambitious or expansive as many of the biggest streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+ or HBO Max, but Howdy isn't trying to compete directly with them. "We don't think it'll replace a 'tier one' streaming service," Roku CEO Anthony Wood tells USA TODAY. "People have multiple streaming services and it will be a great complement." Prices are rising on other streaming services in part because new original TV shows and movies are expensive to produce. Howdy will avoid that all together by essentially showing re-runs of content they know their users already enjoy. "Library content is very popular and people like to watch it," Wood says. "They spend a lot of hours watching it." Wood and Roku hope the rising costs of "tier one" services (Peacock is the latest to raise prices) are stretching viewers' budgets enough to tempt them into trying something as cheap as Howdy, which they happily note is "less than the price of your morning coffee or a single movie rental anywhere else." The service does not have a trial period, but users can cancel at any time. There is plenty of opportunity for Howdy to find an audience, even exclusively on Roku devices. The company's Roku Channel is the most-watched free, ad-supported TV service in the U.S., according to Comscore. Roku devices are in more than half of U.S. households, reaching 125 million people each day. "This type of service doesn't exist," Wood says, hopeful that his new venture can fill a hole in the streaming market. "Add a bunch of extra movies and TV shows for three bucks a month and no ads! I mean, I think it's great."
