The problem as I see it is not so much that the producers/directors choose the most unlikely (to say the least) actors to play the principals. The problem is ...if you even pay attention to the words....is that each character, Jesus, Judas, magdalene are mischaractarized. Do they think we are so stupid to miss that? like most people miss the point of some songs by John lennon for intance...or sprinsteen?

And. in spite of Lambert saying:
“I’m excited by the challenge of presenting the audience with a production led by a female, Black ‘Jesus’ and encourage the audience to expand their minds a bit,” Lambert said to the legendary music publication. “And shouldn’t the teachings of Jesus transcend gender?”
Expand that mind...to where?
Lambert is either ignorant or evil or both PLUS he must think he is so much smarter than the public who is considered low IQ by the left when compared to entertainers, especially those who are confused by gender in every sense of the term. Please! don't. even!
This isn't anywhere near the realm of expansion of minds or the challenge of a 'black Jesus'. LOL NOR is there anything even resembling the teachings of Jesus that transcends anything but rather is to drag those unfamiliar, willing or otherwise, with Biblical truths, to Hell.
I'm just saying that these people know exactly what they're doing.
