GODSPELL returns to Broadway, summer 2008 — Page 4

"What's with all the Stephen Schwartz? Didn't they recently announce Children of Eden was coming to Broadway in the near future? I get it Wicked's a hot property but is it really necessary to bring back his older less successful shows?"


Godspell is hardly less successful in the Schwartz rep. it ran 2,124 performances off-broadway and 527 on broadway. Children of Eden is a different story, having never played broadway, but Godspell is Schwartz' most successful show to this date, in terms of # of performances in New York and regionally.

I want Shoshana to be in it!

Prepare ye the way of the bores!

Yes, i saw the original Off- Bwy production, the transfer to the Promenade (several times) and the actual Bwy production. I've also seen a trillion school and church productions of the show.

I liked it, but it's been done to death.

Enough!

I agree Dolly - ENOUGH!

How about a revival of Mame, On the 20th Century, Hello Dolly, The Most Happy Fella (with orchestra).

Or better yet - new shows.

But Godspell ... AGAIN!?????

Oh bless the Bores my Soul.

"InfiniteTheaterFrenzy totally stole my line! I was going to say that the Groff rumors would start immediately. If we're going off of the movie version of "Godspell", ain't no one on Broadway right now more young-Victor-Garber-esque then dear sweet Groff..."

SarahNYC, I'm just glad someone understood what I meant!

This cast sounds great, but it seems few would be able to reprise their roles, based on their current projects...
