"Fantastic ensemble...[no] need
to be a biblical scholar or particularly religious to enjoy
the show. On the contrary, that's what Godspell does
best. It translates Jesus' message into contemporary language,
making age-old parables seem fresh and new. Any doubts that
I may have had during the show were erased as I listened to
my son explain 'The Prodigal Son' to his younger brother later
that night, complete with pratfalls and dance moves."

Godspell
Book by John Michael Tebelak
Music and New Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Based on the
Gospel According to St. Matthew
March 18 - April 16, 2005
Based on the Gospel According to
St. Matthew and featuring a score by Stephen Schwartz,
Godspell boasts a string of well-loved songs, led by
the international hit "Day By Day." As the cast
performs "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord," "Learn
Your Lessons Well," "All For The Best," "All
Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By
My Side," the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and
hearteningly to life. Drawing from various theatrical traditions
from vaudeville to modern dance, Godspell is a groundbreaking
and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message
of kindness, tolerance, and love. Perfect for the Easter season!
Rated G. This is the original theatrical version of the show
with no revisions.
Starring Daniel Vincent as Jesus
and Dan Whorton as John the Baptist/Judas. Featuring Laura
Thomas, Cat Eberwine, Megan Murphy, Nick DeNuzio, Scott Rice,
Marie Anderson, Sloan Yarborough, and Jen Stegall.
