The 50th anniversary tour of Jesus Christ Superstar makes its way to Fort Worth’s Bass Hall for a week-long engagement starting July 12.
The tour comes back to the area after its Dallas stint in April. As the tour makes its way back to the area, so does queer actor Paul Louis Lessard who plays Herod.
With just the one scene and the titular “King Herod’s Song” — he’s also in the ensemble — Lessard has a short time to make a big impression.
