It was a busy Spring for Adam. Having completed his run in “Cabaret”, he attended/presented for the first time at the Tony Awards. Then it was off to Europe for performances in Cannes and at the Polar Music Awards to honor Queen (Brian and Roger). He also made sure to be part of several Pride-related events. And finally, he even made time to work on some new music. Summer may be vacation time but not for him as he will be performing another dream role as Judas in “Jesus Christ Superstar” in LA.
Enjoy the chat!

I’m seeing nothing but glowing accounts & rave reviews of the recent 3-night epic performance of #JesusChristSuperstar starring Adam Lambert & Cynthia Erivo @ the Hollywood Bowl.
Please show producers: Take this on tour or bring it to Broadway (and film it for re-broadcast).

I’m still numb, I can’t believe what I witnessed over the last three days. Adam Lambert is THE MOST SPECTACULAR VOCALIST I HAVE EVER HEARD. The entire show was electrifying. I hope the powers that be realize that the people around the world want more.

MUST REED/ FORBES REVIEW/ Cynthia Erivo And
@adamlambert
#JesusChristSuperstar Needs To Tour
a Hollywood Bowl revelation worthy of a wider audience. With the Mercurial (and by that, I mean Freddie) Adam Lambert as Judas, an otherworldly Cynthia Erivo as Jesus .
Lambert : reveled in Judas’s arc from swagger to ruin, balancing streetwise regret with near-mythic torment. Could any other contemporary singer — aside from perhaps Gaga herself — bring the same combination of goth-rock swagger, heartbreak and glittery stoke to lines like: “You have set them all on fire / They think they’ve found the new Messiah / And they’ll hurt you when they find they’re wrong!” I think not.”

But the true star of the show who stole every scene and dominated the stage was
@adamlambert
as Judas. Oh. My. God. He is a supernatural talent and this role was tailor-made for him. The beauty and power cannot be overstated.

The number of people I’m hearing went to the show, were impressed by Adam, went home, and Googled who won his year of Idol because they can’t believe he got beat. Only to find out and go, “Who the heck is that?!” Has me in hysterics. Yes, friends, he was robbed

Loving stuff like this
Lol
I definitely noticed what was going on — bulge wise– just didn’t want to be pervy about JCS.
But. Yes. Indeed. Like old times.
The whole idea that he just shopped his own closet and chose his wardrobe and shoes and jewelry for three magnificent nights blows my mind.
Also. Just love that when you watch performances from every night he did what he always does.
He finds a way to make something different every single time.
Judas’ Death especially. The acting, phrasing, singing, connecting with audience and emoting got better with each show. He is beyond astonishingly talented.
@sepiarosebud
its quite amusing observing people freak out, watching @adamlambert do the same amazingness ive seen him doing for years.
