Live musicals are all the rage right now, but if you haven’t had the urge to watch some of your favorite celebs belt out show tunes before, you definitely will now. John Legend is starring in Jesus Christ Superstar as the titular character, and his reaction makes the news even better. That’s because on Tuesday, Dec. 19, the 10-time Grammy winner geeked out over multiple Tony winner, Andrew Lloyd Webber — aka the leading light of Broadway and co-creator of Jesus Christ Superstar. Since Legend is, well, a legend himself, the singer already has a Tony award too, but apparently he still gets excited when his idols tweet about him. Celebrity fandom is adorable.
The live musical will air on NBC on April 1, 2018 — Easter Sunday, as Webber’s tweet pointed out. Jesus Christ Superstar originated as a 1971 Broadway musical, and it tells the story of the last week of Jesus’ life.
