John Stamos Turns Heads With Dramatic New Look for Stage Performance originally appeared on Parade.
Full House alum John Stamos landed an unexpected gig for the weekend that prompted a major transformation.
Stamos took to social media to rave about the “unforgettable night” he experienced, and it seems he knocked it out of the park with his performance.
On August 2, Stamos shared a handful of photos on his Instagram page. Just a few days earlier, he had revealed that he was temporarily stepping into Josh Gad’s role in the production of Jesus Christ Superstar due to an illness affecting Gad.
After the performance, Stamos gushed over sharing the stage with Adam Lambert and Cynthia Erivo. He noted that the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber was present to see that particular performance, and Stamos was thrilled to “step into the jeweled madness of King Herod” for a brief stint.
Stamos embraced the role, looking nothing like his Full House character of Uncle Jesse Katsopolis. He wore a curly wig and a gold suit, and the wig provided a massive transformation in the actor’s look.

“What an unforgettable night under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl,” Stamos shared. He wrote that Erivo was “electrifying” and Lambert was “a total masterclass.”
He lauded, “Their voices shook the heavens.”
Stamos added, “To the cast, crew, and every single soul in that massive crowd — thank you. You lifted us up.”
The Full House star raved, “This show is pure rock opera magic, and to do it in a venue like @thehollywoodbowl, for one of the greatest composers of our time, is something I’ll never forget.”
He quipped about needing to take off his “Howard Stern wig” and “come down from the glitter high.”
Kristin Chenoweth commented, “You were wonderful! Didn’t miss a beat!”
Gad wrote, “Brilliant. As ever.”
Caitlin McHugh Stamos, who is married to the Full House star, added an extra bit of context. She commented that not only did her husband take on the role with “a short time to prepare,” but he did it “the day after returning from a week touring with The Beach Boys in Spain.”
She added, “You’re not just a King, you’re a Super Human. Love you, so proud!!!”
