Godspell at Mary Moody Northen Theatre

In this updated, jazzy version of the 1971 classic, a small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and a hefty dose of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance, and love come vibrantly to life. The first major musical from Grammy and Academy Award-Winner Stephen Schwartz, Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including “Day by Day,” "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."
