The star of new revival of “Jesus Christ, Superstar” is a bald-headed, black queer woman.
Cynthia Erivo has been cast to play Jesus Christ at the Hollywood Bowl’s production of the infamous Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.
Erivo is an outspoken member of the LGBT community.
“As I stand here in front of you: Black, bald-headed, pierced, and queer, I can say I know a thing or two about being the other,” she said last year at a gala for the Los Angeles LGBT Center.
Erivo came out as bisexual in the pages of British Vogue in 2022.
