When NBC presents a live production of Jesus Christ Superstar next Easter, a classic rock superstar will perform the role of King Herod: shock-rock pioneer Alice Cooper.
In a press statement, Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment, said that Cooper is perfect for the role because his on-stage theatrics are “the stuff of legend.”
NBC’s staged rock concert Jesus Christ Superstar Live! will air Easter Sunday, April 1.
