On April 1st aka Easter Sunday, NBC is going to air Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, and today they announced who is going to play lead.
John Legend is the superstar who will play Jesus Christ. He is second person cast in the live musical from Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice,
last week they revealed that Alice Cooper will play King Herod.
Even though Legend is playing Jesus, the real stars of the Rock Opera are Judas and Mary Magdalena, so I am more curious who will take on those roles that require a really powerful voice. You try belting out those tunes in the shower and see how long you can before your voice breaks.
