SEBASTIAN BACH Fired By 'Jesus Christ Superstar' Producers

April 3, 2003

Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach was reportedly terminated by the producers of the national touring revival of the Rice-Webber rock opera "Jesus Christ Superstar". No further information is available at this time.

In an interview published in January in the Asheville Citizen-Times, Bach spoke proudly of his involvement in the production, stating that "I am the very first heavy metal singer to take a Broadway show across the United States. And I'm proud of that. But there's a reason. No [other rock singer] could. It's brutal. What's really outrageous is doing two shows on Saturday, and two on Sunday. I have to be honest. That is as much as I have to give you, dude."

Bach had previously starred in Broadway's "Jekyll and Hyde" in 2000, where his four-month run was named Favorite Male Replacement of the Year by Broadway.com and he did a Broadway run of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", playing Riff Raff.
