Rise and shine, BroadwayWorld! It is August 4, 2025 and it's time to catch up on all of the theatrical happenings you may have missed over the weekend.

When it comes to the Hollywood Bowl's Summer 2025 production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber / Tim Rice classic rock musical JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR—which opened August 1 for three sold-out performances playing throughout the weekend—there are just not enough superlatives to bestow upon one of the most astonishing, incredibly entertaining summer musical revivals this historic venue has ever presented on this stage. Seriously, this is so insanely good, buoyed by amazing performances from its entire cast, led by Cynthia Erivo in the title role and Adam Lambert as Judas. A ferociously-performed, mesmerizingly robust new iteration that feels like an intentionally mind-blowing hybrid of arena-rock concert and musical theatre in its most explosive sense, this glorious production—directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo—is appropriately amped-up both visually and sonically.

Josh Gad has returned to Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl! He had originally stepped out for the opening performance after testing positive for COVID, and then testing negative quickly there after. See the video of his performance here!

Recasting a star who is above the title of a musical is a tricky endeavor. That balance of someone who artistically fulfills the role and someone who can sell enough tickets to be worthy of the above-the-title placement is a complex one, and it seems to becoming a more and more common trend recently for shows, particularly star-driven revivals, to not do a second casting, even if they are financially successful.

GRAMMY Award-nominated Adam Lambert teamed up with Andrew Lloyd Webber to release a showstopping new rendition of “Heaven On Their Minds.” Listen to the track here!

The 78th Tony awards aired on Sunday night, June 9th, and it was a particularly historic night for Hawai’i nei. Though our islands have had their share of representation at theatre’s biggest night in the past—from Honolulu-born Bette Midler’s wins in 1974 and 2017 to Kaimuki grad Ruthie Ann Miles’ win in 2015—no previous Tony night has had quite the concentration of celebrities, shout-outs, and wins as last night’s ceremony.
