As we all know by now Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR is about to get a flashy concert production at The Hollywood Bowl starring Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Winner (and Oscar nominee) Cynthia Erivo. But its rumored that this is going to be one of the most expensive productions that the Hollywood Bowl has ever done and as such they have brought in NBC Universal not only to produce but to stream this concert either live on NBC or Peacock as it happens or towards the end of the year as kind-of cross promotion for "Wicked: For Good" It's also rumored that the cast they have assembled around Cynthia is FANTASTIC: Leslie Odom Jr. (in his first musical since Hamilton) has been approached to play Judas, and I've also heard that both Oscar Isaac and Pedro Pascal have been approached to play Pilate. What do you guys think of this?

This would be just amazing. Insanely so.  But it would create a social media firestorm, trust me. In todays political climate, I am being force fed anti LGBTQ crap on facebook. Recently there was a cutesy photo shoot of Cynthia with Janelle Monet (spelling?) they were posing for pics, laughing, and there was a primary pic of them kissing for the camera.  It was cute.

 

The comments on the post were in the 10's of thousands and the anti gay and racist commentary ("ghetto", other slurs) were vile.  If a black person, if a woman plays this role, I hope they have a strong backbone because the idiots will be enraged.  I think Cynthia can handle it, but I don't know.

 

This is just my two cents.
