GODSPELL
GODSPELL
Set in modern times in a community park, a group of young strangers come together to tell parables (lessons) based upon the Gospel of Matthew. Using comedy, drama, games, music, dancing and more, the group embarks on an evening of electric and high-energy storytelling. Their songs are an eclectic blend of styles ranging from pop to vaudeville as they bring messages of kindness, tolerance, joy and love to life.
GODSPELL was the first major musical theatre offering from multiple Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (Musicals - WICKED, PIPPIN, and CHILDREN OF EDEN, and Films - POCAHONTAS, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME, THE PRINCE OF EGYPT, and ENCHANTED). The production took the world by storm in 1971, led by the international hit, “Day by Day,” and featuring a parade of beloved songs, including “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back, O Man” and “By My Side.”
