Johnny Rotten to Star in Jesus Christ Superstar. Wait–What?
Nope. I checked the calendar. This story is from April 4, which is well after the April Fool’s sell-by date. Apparently it’s true.
According to Rolling Stone, Johnny Lydon has signed on for a 51 date traveling version of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar which is being produced by Canadian Michael Cohl. Johnny will play the role of King Herod.
