Godspell?

With almost a completely new cast from the one announced and new physical production. So, not quite. But close.

That's why I put the question mark, I didn't know how much of that production was revamped to actually get it up and running. Was Ken Davenport attached as the producer of the first cancelled production or did he come onboard after that first delay/cancellation?

Yup. It was meant to be a transfer from the Paper Mill with Gavin Creel announced as Jesus. Once Davenport partnered with the Mexican producers it turned into the magnificent work of art that played CITS.

Adam Epstein, Broadway Across America, Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley produced (well, tried to produce) the 2008 production of Godspell.

I saw pictures of tech on FB, looked like they were all ready to go. Somebody lost some dough.

I don't get why they keep canceling these shows like the day before they start.

"It's not that this particular run is cancelled. It is that there is no more for this specific production in NYC. Ever."

True, I was specifically limiting my comments to speak in the present tense, as I lack your psychic abilities.

So they built the whole set, moved in, probably tech'd a few days...and then postponed? That really sucks for everyone involved. I don't understand how it got so far into production before the plug was pulled...
