Alice Cooper has joined the cast of NBC’s upcoming Jesus Christ Superstar Live! event. The broadcast will take place on Easter Sunday and the shock rock legend has been cast in the roll of King Herod. The show is being produced by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, Marc Platt, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. Robert Greenblatt, chairman, NBC Entertainment broke news of the casting choice and says Cooper is the ideal selection: “Alice Cooper, whose theatricality is the stuff of legend, is the perfect rock star to play Herod in our live production. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote a showstopping musical number for Herod and we all look forward to the ‘King of Shock Rock’ taking on the King of Judea. As the casting for ‘Superstar’ ramps up, we can feel the excitement building for this brand new concert experience of what has long been considered the original rock musical,” says Greenblatt.
