Cynthia Erivo to Star as Jesus in Hollywood Bowl Production of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’
Cynthia Erivo will star as Jesus in 'Jesus Christ Superstar' at the Hollywood Bowl in summer 2025. Get the details.
Set for three back-to-back shows Aug. 1-3 at the famed Los Angeles amphitheater, the Sergio Trujillo-directed production of Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s beloved musical will see Jesus Christ Superstar “returning to its rock roots,” according to a description on Hollywood Bowl’s website. The show retells the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection through the eyes of his biblical betrayer, Judas Iscariot, while examining the prophet’s relationships to his disciples and Mary Magdalene — characters who will be played by additional “all-star” cast-members that’ll be announced at a future date, the site promises. Earlier this month, GLAAD announced that the performer will receive the annual Stephen F. Kolzak prize at the advocacy group’s 2025 awards ceremony March 27, in recognition of her making a “significant difference in raising visibility and promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people and issues.”
