One only hopes that the feeble-minded out there do not take this ridiculous farce as any true representation of Christ. This is simply infantile distortion on an epicly gross scale.
Cynthia Erivo Nails the Role of Nosferatu … um, Jesus in New Production of 'Superstar'

As Twitchy announced back in February, Cynthia Erivo of "Wicked" ...
... had been cast in a Hollywood Bowl performance of "Jesus Christ Superstar," starring as Jesus. Some had their doubts about a queer black bald woman playing Jesus, but the show went on, and now we have some idea of how it went. We can suspend our beliefs long enough to accept that she was playing Jesus, but since when did Jesus stalk around like Nosferatu?
Karli Bonne’ (@KarluskaP) ~ This is supposed to be "Jesus Christ Superstar," not "Bride of Frankenstein."

That's Adam Lambert playing Judas, by the way. Lambert told Variety he was excited that the show "would "encourage the audience to expand their minds a bit."
Yeah, "expand their minds" ... as in taking a massive dose of LSD.
Just Gillian (@be1_gilly) ~ This is weird.
These people are bizarre freaks who despise the very Person and beliefs they are supposedly portraying.
Dr. Jebra Faushay (@JebraFaushay) ~ The bald black lady with the septum piercing in the white dress is playing the role of Jesus. This is just as the Bible described him in the book of Wokesis.

It would be easier for us to suspend our beliefs if they'd at least designed costumes or a set.
Well, their intent is to mock, so ...
Troy Dunham (@dunham_troyauth) ~ Is she gonna twerk, too? This is SO sickening.
Blank (@cw303076) ~ I don't get it ... it's so cringey!
What do you NOT understand??? Of course, it is pure cringe - that's intentional.
Uber liberal Ben Stiller says he would have given anything to be there:
Ben Stiller (@BenStiller) ~ Words cannot express my regret at not being able to see this ...

Well, given the source, THAT is a damning reason NOT to attend in itself.
Xermanus (@xermanext) ~ I like the cute blonde white girl playing Judas.
Heh heh heh heh heh.
Someone else called him "Temu Billy Idol."
Yeah, that is exactly what struck me ... Adam Lambert looks like a cheap Billy Idol knock-off.
Necolodia (@Necolodia) ~ That guy is great! Though, it's sad to see Jesus portrayed by this Gollumesque creature with her sinister posturing and Aleister Crowley hand gestures.
GB (@GratefulBruh) ~ Real talk ... is something wrong with her fingers? They are freakishly long.
LivinTheBeachLife (@anneYdesigns) ~ Nosferatu! 😳😂😂😂
See? We weren't the only ones who noticed the resemblance.
Otto (@OttoBraun1976) ~ Why is black Nosferatu playing Jesus?
Contrarian Vindicator (@ContrarianVinny) ~ That’s the Netflix version of Nosferatu.
We're sure those who knew what they were getting into thought it was great. We just can't get past the stalking with the ridiculous claws … it doesn't seem very Jesus-like.
