Just for fun..... what if they didn't announce Adam or include him in the first promo because they are going to feature him in upcoming promos? "Starring John Legend, Sara Barielles, Alice Cooper...... and featuring Queen frontman, Adam Lambert, as Judas" with a 5 second audio clip of Adam singing Heaven on their Minds. It works for me!

It works for me! trying to stay skeptical out of self preservation...I know it will be painful for me if he is not in and they'll keep running the ad during the Olympic coverage...(that's the only time I will be watching TV/NBC, so I am safe otherwise ...honestly I wouldn't want "the Queen frontman" designation plastered there...Adam singing would be great of course!

Possibly why no Judas in the first trailer. Is obvious one they have yet to cast Judas Yet. Or they are waiting to announce who we'll be playing Judas. And feature Adam possibly in the next promo. Look I think this JCS thing is 50/50. I'm not ready to call it a sure thing. Until Adam tweets it lol.

That would be PERFECT, cassie. You're a genius and I think you should be doing the PR for this.

Ok.No real news today. I‘m still one of the sceptical ones, when it comes to JCS, although some of you have almost convinced me. 😁 on the other hand: all the discussions and what we got to see in the last weeks about his relationship with Sauli emphasized my theory, that Adam posted the clip „I don’t know, how to love him“ for a different reason. It’s the same with his Spotify list: I was told, that Adam updated it with only one song, when he came back home from Europe. One single song in a long time. I don’t remember the exact title, but it was a very fitting lovesong. So, here my romantic side shows. And I could easily see, that all his happiness, that had been felt even during Queen gigs could have a different meaning than a role in JCS. But of course, the twitter-followings indicate that he might have a role in the musical. Even if it’s hard: Wait and see! When Adam posted that video back then I first thought of his relationship with Sauli, even though the JCS discussion picked up right away again. Wasn't it discussed back then that Adam must have gone out of his way to view JCS while in Europe? That makes me want to believe that something significant in relation to JCS must have happened. Coincidentally, Adam might have felt drawn to the lyrics of that particular song, "I don't know how to love him" (or something like that). None of us knows for sure, so of course it is nerve wrecking, but I am enjoying the speculation more than just twiddling my thumbs. I am still a strong believer, and I think the tv announcement/ad today with the "bigger names" was strategic.

Millions of bucks are going into this production. Big money to be made from advertisements. Mega planning needed for logistics, filming, performance, lighting, promotion, cast, rehearsal, etc etc etc. They would not leave it to chance at this late date.
