Adam Lambert will play Judas in the three-night production of Jesus Christ Superstar, running at the Hollywood Bowl August 1-3. Cynthia Erivo will play Jesus. The rest of the cast has not yet been announced.  Tony winner Sergio Trujillo (Ain’t Too Proud) directs the production of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

The announcement of Lambert arrives just one day before single tickets go on sale for the Bowl’s entire 2025 season of LA Phil-produced shows. Tickets for this and other Phil productions go on sale Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT, after package deals for multiple shows previously went up for grabs. A Lambert/Erivo teaming on one of the all-time great rock musicals seems likely to make “Jesus Christ Superstar” one of the season’s quicker sellouts.
