The starry Jesus Christ Superstar concert at the Hollywood Bowl may be over, but don't worry, Andrew Lloyd Webber hasn't forgotten about it. The composer's official YouTube channel has released a music video for Adam Lambert's rendition of "Heaven on Their Minds." Lambert played Judas opposite Tony winner Cynthia Erivo's Jesus at the August concerts. Watch the video below. 

As for a potential encore concert of the musical, Lloyd Webber hasn't discounted that possibility, telling the New York Times: “I was really, really keen to have a woman play Jesus. Something has got to happen with that, because it really did hit a nerve. I found it more moving than I’ve seen it for a very long time. And it would be great to have the pair of them do it in Madison Square Garden or something like that.”

Hopefully he's serious about making it happen, if this new video is any indication. See more videos from the Jesus Christ Superstar concert (which took place August 1–3) via Playbill's in-depth recap here.

Also part of that Hollywood Bowl concert was Milo Manheim (Zombies, Little Shop of Horrors) as Peter, four-time Tony nominee Raúl Esparza (Company, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) as Pontius Pilate, Hamilton Tony nominee Phillipa Soo as Mary Magdalene, Zachary James (The Addams Family) as Caiaphas, Tyrone Huntley (2022 revival of Jesus Christ Superstar) as Simon, and Brian Crum (Next to Normal) as Annas.

Stage and screen star John Stamos (Cabaret, Nine) played Herod for the August 1 and 2 show, taking over while The Book of Mormon Tony nominee Josh Gad recovered from COVID. Gad performed as Herod on August 3.

Tony winner Sergio Trujillo directed and choreographed the Lloyd Webber and Rice musical, which also featured musical direction by conductor Stephen Oremus. The creative team also included scenic designer Jason Ardizzone-West, costume designer Emilio Sosa, projection designer Peter Nigrini, lighting designers Tyler Lambert-Perkins and Tyler Glover, sound designer Jonathan Burke, and hair and makeup designer Brandi Strona.

Marc Tumminelli was the associate director with Christopher Hernandez as associate choreographer, Jared Stein as associate musical director and associate conductor, Kirk Graves as props coordinator, and Kim DeShazo as costume supervisor. Meredith J. Greenburg is the production stage manager.

The staging was produced in association with Neil Meron and Robert Greenblatt and presented by arrangement with The Really Useful Group Limited.

Jesus Christ Superstar, initially released as a concept album in 1970, premiered on Broadway in 1971 and was nominated for five Tony Awards, including Best Original Score for Lloyd Webber and Rice. The show was subsequently revived in 1977, 2000, and 2012. A long-running London production debuted in 1972. The score includes “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane,” among others.

Norman Jewison directed the 1973 film version starring Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, and Yvonne Elliman. NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert premiered in April 2018 with John Legend, Sara Bareilles, Brandon Victor Dixon, Norm Lewis, and more.
