Adam Lambert to star opposite Cynthia Erivo in 'Jesus Christ Superstar' at the Hollywood Bowl this summer
Powerhouse singer and former American Idol star Adam Lambert recently made his Broadway debut as the Emcee in the Tony Award-winning Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in New York last year and, now, the 43-year-old star is set to dust off his stage chops again as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar at our very own Hollywood Bowl on August 1 to 3.
What's more, Lambert will star opposite fellow vocal powerhouse Cynthia Erivo, who will take on the role of Judas.
Show tickets will be available online starting to at 10am tomorrow right here.
The production is something of a homecoming: the show—featuring lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber—was originally performed at the Hollywood Bowl in 1971. The current revival is directed and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, with Stephen Oremus serving as conductor and musical director.
