Hollywood's Latest Controversy

Cynthia Erivo, known for "Wicked," is set to play Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar" at Hollywood Bowl. This casting decision, featuring a black lesbian as Christ, is seen by many as a deliberate provocation aimed at traditionalists. The predictable backlash, however, has been tepid, with more yawns than outrage. Critics argue it's just another typical Hollywood move for publicity. A question perhaps worth pondering: Should eyebrows be raised or, like Jesus, should we simply yawn?
