Cynthia Erivo is set to play Jesus Christ this summer in a production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Hollywood Bowl. Erivo shared the news via Instagram and wrote: “Just a little busy this summer, can’t wait.” She’s no stranger to the show, having starred as Mary Magdalene in an all-female version of the hit musical in 2020 and sung the popular number “I Don’t Know How to Love Him.”
Performances for “Jesus Christ Superstar” at the Hollywood Bowl will begin on Aug. 1 and run through Aug. 3. More casting will be announced at a later date. Tony Award winner Sergio Trujillo is serving as director and choreographer for the show, while Tony winner Stephen Oremus is set to serve as musical director and conductor.
That’s a big NOPE for me.
Sick!
OK, I wonder how much tickets cost - just so I know how much money I’m gonna save.
Is she a black lesbian trannie with a disability?
That’s optimum.
But should they adapt it with altered elements of The DaVinci Code?
Have a lesbian wife for the female?
A lesbian playing Jesus? How uninspired. Its been done a million times before. You don’t remember that? Its because only about 5 or 6 people saw each performance.
Everyone should keep repeating in all public comments, “now do Muhammed”.
Ha.
Like the white producer said to the black director in the movie Bamboozled:
“Oh, man, that is ratings dope.”
Who keeps funding these musicals and plays and movies that they must know no one will ever pay to see? Someone’s spending a lot of money to put out woke entertainment watched by no one.
Yawn. Saw that during the Paris Olympics opening ceremonies. . 🥱
Pray for everyone involved. Hell ain’t gonna be fun.
This piece of offal STANK TO HIGH HEAVEN when it was new; this is far worse, which I didn’t think was possible.
Wasn’t one enough, what happened to creative artists.
Mohammed Superstar. Interesting. Especially if it is produced by the Islamic sects that believe the Koran forbids music. A musical without music.
You do know that Mary Magdalene will still be female and sing, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him,” making it a lesbian relationship.
Played by a black lesbian female Jew.
Grew up loving that musical...seen it set in a multitude of ways.
A bald black woman playing Jesus is not going to fly. Garbage.
They have not learned anything, go for it😎
