Singer Adam Lambert will be playing Judas Iscariot in the upcoming Hollywood Bowl performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar" this summer, according to a Monday post on the Los Angeles venue's Instagram.

Lambert, 43, who rose to fame during Season 8 of "American Idol" in 2009, made his Broadway stage debut last year as a cross-dressing Emcee in "Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club," and will be starring in the classic Andrew Lloyd Weber musical at the Hollywood Bowl during its brief run from Aug. 1–3.

"For many Angelenos and concertgoers, the Hollywood Bowl is the premier summer destination for live music," LA Philharmonic President and CEO Kim Noltemy said of the show in a press release. "Each season, the LA Phil presents world-class artists in a truly one-of-a-kind setting, and this year is no exception."

I’d marginally prefer a pope Donald to this blasphemy. God protect us from all of this.

I wonder if all those atheists will jump to Christian’s defense since it so offensive? Nah! Only if it’s their favorite Piñata Trump.

Oh, no!

Orange man bad, even when he ‘attacks’ Catholicism. Orange man always bad.

Anyone else can attack the faith freely and it’s fine. Expect no defense from those hating on (pope) Trump.

I expect nothing from that type of hypocrisy. I understand Trump not being anyone’s cup of tea but c’mon. It’s just becoming super creepy.

Trump ain’t my cup of tea. Those other guys weren’t either. When can I get a good cup of tea again?

You can order one but it’s never delivered. We are stuck with 2 parties.

I remember when Adam Lambert was on American Idol. He's a gay, secular Jewish man. I'm not too surprised he would mock Christians.

I just realized that I might be rooting for this Judas over his particular Jesus.

 

[Tuur]

It's Jesus Christ, Superstar. The original ended with Jesus' death on the cross and ignored His resurrection. The original implied Judas didn't have a choice. Billy Graham characterized the original as near blasphemy. And yes, I saw the film. It's something I regret because I tend to remember music and wish I could forget some of the songs.

Of course a remake will be demeaning of Christ and Christianity. You don't expect to find a five star meal in a gas station sushi bar on a hot day, and there's no point in thinking any version of Jesus Christ Superstar would be respectful of Christ.

I won't be making the same mistake with this one that I did with the first.
