The rainbow song and the Godspell number are both called "The Acceptance Song." It's in Act One.
SPOILER!!!
When Sondheim refuses to write them an anthem to perform Chris' character (Trent) writes what they all acknowledge is a pretty horrible song. Yet when their press rep gets them a halftime show performance opportunity, they all agree to perform it. The Godspell cast members even do an hilarious riff on the "Prodigal Son

I am with Jordan on this one. To suggest this is a flop is odd. There is so much smart writing, great composing, inventive direction, and a cast that just knocks it out of the park- this is not a case of so bad it’s good. This is good good.

However, I fear I might be stating the obvious here...this show will never, ever work with the m
The powers that be from Gwyneth on down should pay close attention to Lily's review because it is spot on. NY will not be as forgiving for the flaws mentioned.
I was also at the Friday 13th evening performance. You got the wrong name of the king. That was Jeremy Kushnier of Footloose fame. I could have done without all his homophobic gestures to get laughs from the audience.
