In 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' the conflict between Cynthia Erivo's all-seeing, all-feeling Jesus and Adam Lambert's competitive yet remorseful Judas was thrillingly brought to life in their different yet wholly compatible musical styles.

I bought my tickets for this Jesus Christ Superstar the moment it was announced that Cynthia Erivo was leading the cast.  Before any other names were revealed, and before I'd figured out that I’d never been to the Hollywood Bowl and had no idea what I was getting myself into.

In one of the most buzzed-about stage shows of the year, Erivo and Lambert turned the 1970s rock opera into a Hollywood Bowl revelation worthy of a wider audience.
