Overview

• The three-night Jesus Christ Superstar concert at the Hollywood Bowl is in full swing, with Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and Adam Lambert as Judas headlining through Aug. 3.
• John Stamos replaced Josh Gad as King Herod after Gad’s COVID-related withdrawal and joined Raúl Esparza in a dynamic staging of “King Herod’s Song.”
• Video clips from opening performances featuring Erivo’s “Gethsemane” and Lambert’s live rendition of “Heaven on Their Minds” are now available online.
• Adam Lambert released a new studio version of “Heaven on Their Minds” on Aug. 1, produced by Martin Terefe and arranged by Andrew Lloyd Webber, available digitally and on limited-edition vinyl.
• Under Sergio Trujillo’s direction and Stephen Oremus’s musical leadership, the minimalist staging and inclusive casting underscore the production’s contemporary reinterpretation of the classic rock score.
