‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ at Bowl Needs Live Album: Pop Shop Podcast


A dream cast put on a live production of Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl over this past weekend, when Cynthia Erivo as Jesus went toe-to-toe with Adam Lambert as Judas — not to mention Hamilton‘s Philippa Soo as Mary Magdalene, John Stamos and Josh Gad sharing the role of King Herod, Raúl Esparza as Pontius Pilate and more legends of stage and screen.

Unfortunately for anyone who wasn’t in the house Friday, Saturday or Sunday in Los Angeles, those are the only three nights planned for this star-studded cast — but what if the show could go on? On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Keith tells Katie all about being in the house for the final night of the show and pitches the possibility of a live cast recording being released for all of us who have been watching every fan-shot clip on social media.

Listen to our conversation now:

Also on the show, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem returns to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a ninth nonconsecutive week, while TOMORROW X TOGETHER, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Tyler Childers debut in the top 10. Meanwhile, on the Billboard Hot 100, Alex Warren hits a ninth week atop the list, while another KPop Demon Hunters track, “Your Idol,” hits the top 10 for the first time.
