ok so I don't know if anyone is interested in this..I figured i would post a review about it anyways...I saw Godspell at the Papermill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ today, so I figured why not post how it was.
So I attended this show today with my aunt, my mom, and my friend and we sat in Center Orchaestra Row N...great view and the place is pretty big for not being an actual broadway show...it has a big mezzanine from what I could tell and the orchaestra and stage are big too. So for this show, I went in knowing nothing of what Godspell was about, I mean I had listened to the songs, Day by Day and Prepare ye the way of the Lord, but besides listening to those I did not know what this show was at all. My aunt who was in it in a local community theatre show a few years ago tried to explain it to me, but I had to experience for myself to really find out about it. So without knowing anything and not knowing what to expect either, I came out of Godspell and LOVED IT!
it is seriously a must see at the Papermill Playhouse!..(it closes on October 22nd though, so hurry lol)...the lines in this show is soo funny and the songs start out really slow then go into being so energetic..I was laughing along to the show and clapping at times too. The cast of this show is FABOLOUS, they really all need to go to Broadway!...they interacted with the audience so much too, it was great and I know one of the cast members personally too and he was fantastic in it. Such a great, funny, energetic, uplifting show. At the times when it was meant to be serious even, it was still amazing!
The Cast was:
Uzo Aduba
Sarah Bolt
Sarah Chase
Holly Davis
Robin De Jesus
Joshua Henry (played John the Baptist)
Patrick Heusinger
Dan Kohler (played Jesus)
Anika Larsen
Telly Leung
Julie Reiber
--So overall, amazing show, amazing cast, loved it..would see it again if it were not for closing so soon.
