Godspell is my most favorite show and I have never done it. I will be very dissapointed if I never get to do that show. Great score.

I saw the production at the Walnut. It was pretty good. It was very similiar to the 2000 off-Broadway production.

I saw Godspell at age 15 and fell in love with it.

Today I have a 15 year old daughter. I was telling her she will be telling her kids about Wicked the way I tell her about Godspell. I still listen to the CD, there are some great songs.

Congrats Godspell.

Where did you see Godspell?

The original Off-Broadway production?

Do tell!

I sat on the stage for the off broadway revival with Foa. I was enthralled by the production. It was excellent, especially the orchestrations. First class.
