John has agreed to be in the cast of the live 2018 NBC Easter presentation of “Jesus Christ Superstar” which will air April 1, Easter 2018. Earlier in the week we shared that rock and roll superstar Alice Cooper is also on board as part of the cast for the live performance on NBC.
John Legend is not old enough to remember the original 1970s “Jesus Christ Superstar” a musical that broke all the rules and morals. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote the soundtrack for the musical, a production that was warmly received but ended up hanging around for decades, reprised in the UK, Australia and other parts of the country.
John is the winner of 10 Grammys, an Oscar, and a Tony, so we think he can easily pull this off.
