Are we the only ones who can’t help but read this musical’s name to the tune of its title track’s chorus? Head to the Hollywood Bowl to see Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s rock-opera take on Jesus of Nazareth—with Cynthia Erivo as Jesus and Adam Lambert as Judas, plus Milo Manheim as Peter, Raúl Esparza as Pontius Pilate, Josh Gad as King Herod and Phillipa Soo as Mary Magdalene.
We don’t know about you, but our mind is always focused on the weekend. It can never come soon enough—which is why we’re already thinking about what new restaurants we want to try or where we can drive for the day. Whether you’re looking to scope out the latest museum exhibitions or watch a movie outdoors, you’ll find plenty of things to do in L.A. this weekend.
We curate an L.A. weekend itinerary of the city’s best concerts, culture and cuisine, every week, just for you. August kicks off this weekend, and the hottest ticket in town is Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, starring Cynthia Erivo, Adam Lambert, John Stamos and Phillipa Soo. Meanwhile in Inglewood, Lady Gaga closes out a string of concerts at the Forum, and HARD Summer takes over Hollywood Park next to SoFi. For some free fun: esperanza spalding plays a complimentary concert under the stars at the Music Center, the Wende Museum holds its first Zine Fest, and the Friends of the L.A. River host their annual RiverFest. And down in Huntington Beach, spectators will gather at the shore to watch the final weekend of the U.S. Open of Surfing.
