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!

A great insightful article/ Why #JesusChristSuperstar Remains Relevant 55 Years Later
“Knowing that the true lead role is actually Judas Iscariot, it’s important to highlight the technical brilliance and emotional intensity of
@adamlambert
, one of the most extraordinary musical talents of recent decades — so much so that he was chosen to sing with Queen and face all the inevitable comparisons to Freddie Mercury . That’s not for just anyone, right?”

For those who can’t get tiktok, Can’t hear her that well, #1 Inherit those vocal chords, #2 You need to be a prime years American Idol person…on Fox, not ABC, #3 tour the world & front Queen.
Have any of Adam’s albums seen a boost since this past weekend?
Good question, mils. I don’t know.

Very close up.
Ahem.
Bulge alert.
And glam alert.
The super white bleached hair and dark clothes are like a contrast of light and dark.Good and evil. Sad and Happy.
Exemplifies the role of Judas and his conflicted soul. Love how Adam did this.

What an incredible start to #ASAE2025! We hit up the Opening Celebration at the iconic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with the amazing Adam Lambert performing. So energized by the atmosphere and excited for the days ahead. Our team is already feeling the LA magic!
Most people thought he already left LA for NYC

I know you follow me for my hot takes on musicals, so here’s one: Adam Lambert as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar is superb. Been listening to recordings for years, the original and the newer ones. But what he’s brought to the role and the show at the Hollywood Bowl is magical.
