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.

Watch a new video of Adam Lambert recording his upcoming cover of 'Heaven On Their Minds' from Jesus Christ Superstar. Lambert stars as 'Judas' in the new production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic, alongside Cynthia Erivo as 'Jesus.'

To kick off the official start of its 2025 season, one of the world's most iconic venues, the Hollywood Bowl, welcomed more than 10,000 guests on the evening of June 7, 2025 for its opening night concert 'An Evening With Hugh Jackman,' featuring the celebrated Australian-born stage-and-screen star performing high-energy numbers accompanied by the lush, grandiose sounds of the Hollywood Bowl orchestra under the direction of Principal Conductor Thomas Wilkins, as well as the Senior graduating musicians of the Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles (YOLA) who joined them on select numbers. A rousing display of talent and energy, Jackman's concert proved once again why this award-winning star is quite a 'showman.'

Adam Lambert has joined the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl! Lambert will take on the role of 'Judas,' opposite Cynthia Erivo as 'Jesus' in the previously announced special production.

Grammy-nominated singer Halsey has joined the Hollywood Bowl's production of Nightmare Before Christmas, playing the role of Sally for two nights before handing it off to original voice actress Catherine O'Hara for the third. The concert will also feature Fred Armisen as Nightmare, Ken Page as Oogie Boogie, and Danny Elfman as Jack Skellington.

Featuring a superb performance from Emmy-winning improv king Wayne Brady as Lola, this new Hollywood Bowl production of KINKY BOOTS---which continues with two more performances July 9-10---marks the triumphant return of the annual summer musical to the world famous venue, armed with a very timely pro-queer, 'be who you wanna be' message that we all need to hear again, especially now.

Tthe Hollywood Bowl's production of Kinky Boots beings performances tonight and runs through July 10th, 2022, featuring Wayne Brady in the role of Lola, Jake Shears as Charlie, and Kelly Marie Tran as Lauren. Go inside rehearsals and get a first look at the cast in action.

Into The Woods officially opened at the Hollywood Bowl on Friday, July 26, for its three-performance run which ends today, July 28. Let's see what the critics are saying...

Quite possibly the most popular family-friendly stage musical of all time, ANNIE---the classic 1977 Tony Award winner for Best Musical based on Harold Gray's 'Little Orphan Annie' comic strip---seems like a no-brainer choice to appear as the annual all-star summer musical at the world-famous Hollywood Bowl. So it's actually not a surprise that this plucky, unabashedly charming production---now causing giddy bursts of laughter and collective choruses of 'awwww's' at Hollywood's iconic 18,000-seat outdoor arena for two more performances this weekend---is such a perfect fit. And judging by its marvelous opening night performance this past Friday, July 27, the production itself is sure to win over anyone in attendance of its remaining shows.
