SHOULD I SEE IT?What Is Godspell Like?
The two-act musical is performed in the round with the musicians placed throughout the audience. The show features various musical styles, including rock ‘n roll, pop, R&B, ragtime, rap and more. The eccentrically dressed cast often gathers around Jesus as he tells different stories and
sings about his teachings and the importance of love. The cast occasionally plays their own instruments and uses props such as ladders, newspapers and more to further enhance their storytelling. This new production modernizes the story by making references to Facebook, iPhones and celebrities like Donald Trump and Lindsay Lohan. The cast frequently enters the audience and frequently improves, which adds to the spontaneous and involving atmosphere.
