LOL That's Constatine Maroulis. He has RTd several fans tweets about him being picked for Judas. I noticed when skimming his feed that he is Tony nominated. I have no idea what all he's been up to since Idol. ETA: Just tried to listen to him singing Heaven on Their Minds on YT... no.....just no. I see he sings Gethsemane as well. as far as I remember - he was in several Broadway productions, Rock Of Ages (?) is one of them and may be that was his Tony nom...not sure... did he follow the JCS related accounts too? ETA: thanks, Jonan, for confirming Rock Of Ages.... LOL. Only David Leveaux, the director.

From his wiki: Maroulis was cast as Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar for the June 2017 production at the Muny, directed by Gordon Greenberg. Looks like he stays very busy, out with some of the Post Modern Juckbox crew right now. And for whatever it is it is or isn’t worth, he was about the only performer I recognized in Zadan’s follows on twitter when this JVS stuff first came up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I saw Constantine in a new experimental musical in a tiny theater in New Haven, Ct. last year. He keeps very busy.

Does anyone know if any other names were being thrown out by fans (or artists like Mark Ballas) for the parts of Jesus or Mary before they made an announcement? Or is Judas the only casting role the guy is being hit with?

Constantine and Mark Ballas are not well known enough to be in this production.

Constantine and Mark Ballas are not well known enough to be in this production. If they are not than neither is Adam. Their fan base size and makeup may be different but their name recognition is likely quite similar.

Their fan base size and makeup may be different but their name recognition is likely quite similar. Adam is more mainstream. And has recongition through his run with Queen. Constantine and Mark feel more indy and alternative too me.

Let me put it this way, who is more likely to tune in to a televised Broadwayish musical, a musical lover, a dancing with the stars type television viewer, or a Queen fan? I’m not saying Adam doesn’t have the roll or at very least he should be 100% in contention, just saying that two and many others also have pluses to bring to the table.

Was wondering if this was just being produced for the US or also for international distribution.
