'Jesus Christ Superstar' touring the US

Post by kport »

It is hard to fathom the news that Johnny Rotten, of 'Sex Pistols' fame, will star as 'Herod' in the upcoming 51 stop US Tour of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' (bring back Keith Moon, who played the role in his days in The Who!).

This tour has been abruptly canceled, less than two weeks before it was to have its first performances in New Orleans. No reason has been given. :?:

Here's a NY Times article about the cancellation:
