Covedale Center Announces Cast For CYPT's GODSPELL 7/23 Thru 8/2
The Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, 4990 Glenway Avenue announces the cast for Cincinnati Young People's Theatre's 28th annual summer musical - GODSPELL! - running Friday, July 23 through Sunday, August 2, 2009!
Based on the Gospel according to St. Matthew, GODSPELL was one of the one of the monumental events in musical theatre history. It presents a creative and ultimately inspiring view of Jesus, as His disciples re-enact the parables and scenes from Jesus' life with great joy, wit and energy.
The rock musical was an immediate hit when it opened in the spring of 1971 at an off-Broadway theatre. Several songs from the show, including Day by Day, became chart hits. The show -- written by then -college student John-Michael Tebelak with music by Stephen Schwartz of
Pippin, and more recently Children of Eden, and Wicked fame -- went on to win rave reviews and a Grammy Award for Best Score.
