The new cast line-up for the north American leg of the Jesus Christ Superstar tour has just been announced. And it is SO, SO GOOD!
Not only have they signed up Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child as Mary Magdalene.
But she's being joined by JC Chasez from *NSYNC as Pontius Pilate. WTF?!
But that's not all. Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten will be playing King Herod.
And Brandon Boyd from Incubus will be Judas Iscariot.
The announcement was of course met with a lot of excitement online.
