Review: Cynthia Erivo and Adam Lambert Lead Spectacular JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at the Hollywood Bowl
by Michael Quintos - Aug 3, 2025


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.

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR Feels New Again at Pittsburgh Musical Theater
by Greg Kerestan - Apr 7, 2025


Is Jesus the hero of Jesus Christ Superstar? It's a question people have debated for years, first spurred by lyricist Tim Rice quipping (possibly sarcastically) in the early seventies that Christ was the villain of the piece, not the hero. The brilliance of the piece is in its almost ambivalent reportage: we see one week in the titular messiah's life, with a just-the-facts approach that never editorializes per se.
