(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) Cynthia Erivo is an extremely talented singer and actress who is probably best known for her starring role in the live-action version of the musical “Wicked.” However, it was just announced that Erivo is slated to play Jesus in an upcoming production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
This will mark a return to musical productions for the Hollywood Bowl and the LA Philharmonic since the COVID pandemic shut them down five years ago. Erivo is particularly prepped for this debut, having done a concept album with an all-female cast in 2020 wherein she played Mary Magdalene.
In “Jesus Christ Superstar,” the plot follows the relationship and dynamics of Jesus and Judas Iscariot during the final few days of Jesus’s life. Judas, who clearly doesn’t believe that Jesus is God, sings a whole song about how Jesus is letting all the admiration get to His head.
