WOW, thanks I didn't see that.. that was for 2017 ..Now that's some good incentive.....I guess at some point Adam will be able to just do things he wants to do rather than worrying about making enough money.. SMART GUY

Agree. Besides his music and Queen, I hope other opportunities continue to come his way like RHPS, Glee, XFAU judging, Macys and Oreo Cookie ad. Will be interesting to see what new management can do for him. And would love to see some good performance opportunities in the US when he releases new music. I wonder if Adam regrets not doing some of the things he has turned down? Like for instance, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," on Broadway. He was offered the role. He said he didn't want to get in drag eight days a week, but that show was huge and popular on Broadway. Neil Patrick Harris did the role and was great at it. Adam says that some other roles he has been offered just didn't seem right or the timing was wrong. I hope something comes along that feels perfect for him and that actually fits into his schedule. I don't want to him to stack up too many "coulda-woulda-shouldas." He's too talented to get passed by, either by someone else's choice or his own. Adam has said a number of times ,that he wants to originate a role ,not play a role others have played before him... Except for JUDAS I wonder what he makes as lead singer of Queen... I know none of my business ,but so curious

I've been watching JCS online. A very good production! Works much better than some of the other live musicals on TV that I have seen. Congrats to them all. Yes, I am still sour grapes about Adam not being involved. I think he would have blown everyone away in the role. Some wonder if he could have handled the acting, but I don't. He totally immerses himself in songs when he performs, and is completely believable. I think he would have been a compelling, brooding presence, and when he opened his mouth to sing, would have pulled all eyes and ears toward himself. Yes, Brandon was good. Adam would have been extraordinary. As to Legend, he just doesn't work in the role for me. He doesn't have the gravitas for it acting wise, or vocally. His falsetto is particularly jarring and, IMO, does not fit the intent of the lyrics or music. I actually stopped watching after about a half hour. For Legend fans, I am sure this was thrilling and wonderful. For me, not so much. I, too, believe Adam was originally slated to take on the role of Judas. What happened I can only guess. I still believe if Adam wanted to do it, and they wanted him to, the timing could have been worked out. I suspect, from the marginal way they promoted the Judas role, that Adam would not agree to be so marginalized. He may have wanted, if not equal billing, at least a featured spot. I mean, Alice Cooper was promoted more than Brandon, and Cooper had a minor role. I suspect, as I commented much earlier, that Legend did not want to be so thoroughly overshadowed, vocally, as he would have been with Adam chewing up the scenery and shaking the rafters with his voice. I am sad I did not get to see and hear Adam in the production. Ah, well. I still have more Queen + Adam Lambert. Thanks for your honest and insightful post. I didn't watch JCS, and that's probably one reason why I am not sour grapes. Adam's powerful new tweets helped too. Thanks Cassie I agree with you Adam would have been too great for John ...It's always about the production and this one wouldn't have allowed Adam to be himself with his glorious voice...yup the scenery would have been chewed to bits.. Still I missed Adam so much.. Can you not get a role because you are just too good???Not to say that Brandon didn't do a great job ,he did.. but IMHO he doesn't have the incredible voice that Adam has.Adam also would have towered over John... not a good look for Jesus

Adam still has a big tour with Queen plus finishing his music...I think he's pretty busy plus some surprises I'm sure.. How much can one person do??? Adam is certainly getting ready for some stuff...As much as I wanted Adam to be Judas..IMHO,that particular production wasn't for him.. as great as it was.. I could not see him playing Judas to John's Jesus.. Adam would have blown him away both vocally&physically much taller, more charismatic ,.. It would have been the Adam JCS Concert. Of course I would have loved that but not sure how the producers and audience would have felt.LOL Yes, I should've counted his music as a project too, not just the movie lol. Still, I wish he'd give us some timeline, because for now, the only thing we know about is QAL in June, nothing before that. Doesn't give us much to be waiting for. Awww you know Adam loves a good surprise...plus he's usually not allowed to say what's in his future plans.. It's up to production people,etc.. Even the director of the animation film couldn't tell us a thing...all kinds of legal stuff I think...Adam sounds very excited and seems to be getting everything in order.... To be honest, I too get restless and really miss him. I'm actually looking at this gorgeous photo of him above my desk.. Love does take It's toll. I have never felt this way about someone I don't really know.Thank goodness my husband loves him too.

ADAM LAMBERT I’m so excited that all u fans out there have come along for this continual ride. I’m loving all the projects I am lucky enough to be apart of, and can’t wait to share them with you!! Adam is prob trying to tell us to be excited for the projects he is a part of, instead of being sorry for the projects he isn't a part of. But the only project we know about (sort of) is the playmobile movie, and we don't know what his role there and when it's coming out. If he can't wait to share his future projects with us, maybe he can tell us when he thinks this sharing will start taking place... Adam still has a big tour with Queen plus finishing his music...I think he's pretty busy plus some surprises I'm sure.. How much can one person do??? Adam is certainly getting ready for some stuff...As much as I wanted Adam to be Judas..IMHO,that particular production wasn't for him.. as great as it was..

Of course I would have loved that but not sure how the producers and audience would have felt.LOL

Between Queen schedule and his animated film,IMHO Adam didn't have time to rehearse for JCS..Why did it take the producers so long to find and name a Judas. Why did they not give Brandon top billing with John.. 'Tis a mystery . Brandon was great and his acting skills wonderful,he never broke out of character.He was like a panther stalking Jesus ,watching him with a look of sadness and fear .
A couple of days before the production,Adam told his fans to watch Brandon " he sings his face off " I bet he does know Brandon or maybe he saw him in Hamilton.... IMHO,Broadway folks form a tight circle of support for each other ,unlike the pop world.Look how many friends Adam has who have been on Broadway.

Well ,IMHO,JCS, just shows that Broadway actors,singers,dancers need to continue to do these TV musicals... To me the best of the best.. except for Legend's lack of acting skills.. This was a fantastic production

Judas is amazing.. I think he just might have stolen the show...His acting even better than his singing.. so sympathetic. I think Adam 's voice would have been great , does he have the acting chops...I hope we find out very soon.

IMHO.. the cast is superb.. Surprised at how much I like John Legend's voice... but to me, his acting skills are really off..He has two expressions neither of them making me feel anything for him.. Judas is panther like wonderful..The staging is really unique and creative.. perfect... dancers,singers top notch broadway.. Sara is perfect in the role as Mary.. JohnLegend just doesn't make a convincing Jesus.. . a bit miscast,by himself, in my opinion.
