Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak, with music and new
lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" is one of the biggest off-Broadway and
Broadway successes of all time. Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew,
and featuring a sparkling 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," and "Turn Back, O Man" the parables of Jesus Christ
come humanly and heartening to life. Drawing from various theatrical traditions,
such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, "Godspell" is
a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of
kindness, tolerance and love.
