GODSPELL - (May 7-22, 2011) Rated G - 40th Anniversary of the Musical, May 17th
Book by John Michael Tebelak, Music by Stephen Schwartz, Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, Based on The Gospel According to St. Matthew, Two Acts, Book Musical, Pop / Rock, Rated G - Original Off-Broadway version
Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak, with music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" is one of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes of all time.
Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz, "Godspell" boasts a string of well-loved songs, led by the international hit, "Day By Day." As the cast performs "Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All For The Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side," the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly to life. Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and vaudeville, "Godspell" is a ground breaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.

Audition Requirements: It is very important that we have a list of ALL CONFLICTS at the time of the audition.
We are seeKing Strong singers and actors. Prepare and memorize one verse of an up-tempo song which shows off your voice, range, and personality. Standard Broadway show tunes are best. Be sure to bring sheet music (not just lyrics but actual piano music) in the correct key - do not expect the pianist to transpose your music on sight. Have all cuts or repetitions clearly marked. Place your music in a binder or tape the sheets together for the benefit of the accompanist. Pianist is provided.
