GODSPELL Announces Day by Day: The Producer's Perspective

Producer Ken Davenport will to present "Day by Day: The Producer's Perspective," the official blog chronicling 100 days leading up to the first performance of the much-anticipated Broadway revival of legendary rock musical GODSPELL.

This blog, which can be found online at www.godspellblog.com, details the day-by-day insider's account of producing the upcoming revival.

"For the past four years, I've been writing a popular blog about Broadway producing called The Producer's Perspective," said Davenport. "One of the biggest requests I get on the blog is for more of an inside view on the day to day of what a Producer does. So I created this new spinoff blog to give GODSPELL fans, producing fans and Broadway fans the first-ever inside perspective on what it's like to produce a show."

For the next 100 days, Davenport will post an entry a day about something he had to deal with that day. From discussions at an advertising meeting, to how many people showed up at the open call, to the first time he saw the costume sketches, "Day by Day: The Producer's Perspective" will feature lots of exclusive insights, pictures, videos and even guest blogs from some of the GODSPELL creative team.

Direction by Daniel Goldstein and choreographed by Tony Award nominee Christopher Gattelli (South Pacific), GODSPELL begins preview performances at Circle in the Square Theatre (1633 Broadway at 50th Street) on Thursday, October 13, 2011. Opening Night is Monday, November 7 (7 p.m.).

GODSPELL reunites Daniel Goldstein -- making his Broadway directorial debut -- and the designers of their critically-acclaimed 2006 Paper Mill Playhouse conception in a new production that has been completely re-imagined for the Circle in the Square, one of Broadway's most intimate, unique and versatile houses.

Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak with music and new lyrics by Academy and Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin), GODSPELL has continued to electrify audiences throughout the country since its original New York premiere in May 1971.

GODSPELL's Tony-nominated score features instantly recognizable hits including "Day by Day," "Turn Back, O Man," "Learn Your Lessons Well, "Prepare Ye the Way," "Light of the World" and many more.

One of the most popular musicals in the world, GODSPELL originally ran for more than 2,600 performances in New York and spawned successful touring productions in major U.S. cities, a 1973 motion picture adaptation and countless international engagements for the past 40 years.

The new Broadway revival of GODSPELL is produced by Ken Davenport and The People of Godspell. Complete casting will be announced soon.

GODSPELL features scenic design by David Korins (Passing Strange, Bridge and Tunnel), costume design by Miranda Hoffman (Well) and orchestrations by Michael Holland (Hurricane).
