Following his casting news as King Herod, Josh Gad has dropped out of Hollywood Bowl's upcoming 'Jesus Christ Superstar' concert.

Cynthia Erivo and Adam Lambert will embody Jesus and Judas during a three-night engagement of the musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar' at the Hollywood Bowl.

The 44-year-old actor has been left "heartbroken" at having to miss the chance to play King Herod in the musical extravaganza, which will run at the Hollywood Bowl from 1-3 August but promised fans the production - which stars Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and Adam Lambert as Judas - will be one of the "greatest things" they will ever get to see.

Gad and Erivo's Wicked costar, Ariana Grande, recently teamed up with each other to star in Jon M. Chu's forthcoming adaptation of the classic Dr. Seuss children's picture book Oh, the Places You'll Go!. Chu, 45, also directed the 2024 film that will see part two arrive in November.

Disney alum Milo Manheim talks with BroadwayWorld about what it's like to perform with Cynthia Erivo, Adam Lambert, and others in the iconic concert staging of Jesus Christ Superstar, playing at the Hollywood Bowl.

Milo Manheim and Raúl Esparza have joined the cast of next month’s Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar starring the previously announced Cynthia Erivo and Adam Lambert. Manheim will play the role of Peter and Esparza will play Pontius Pilate.
