Godspell is a unique and joyful musical based on the Gospel of Matthew. Debuting Off-Off-Broadway in 1971, it features a catchy and eclectic score by Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked and Pippin) alongside a book by John-Michael Tebelak.

A loose-knit group of performers portray Jesus and his disciples. Through a mix of games, pantomime, vaudeville, and contemporary music styles, they bring Jesus' parables and teachings to life. The iconic song "Day by Day" is featured in this energetic show.

Review: GODSPELL at Palm Canyon Theatre
July 13, 2022

What did our critic think of GODSPELL at Palm Canyon Theatre? Stephen Schwartz's 1971 musical Godspell was part of a movement during the late 60's and 70's of the reinvention of theatre norms. The movement paralleled the hippies, free love, rock bands with classical orchestras, artists such as Andy Warhol, and a host of writers. It was a period of re-examination and re-thinking of our ways of doing things, especially in the arts. Godspell is one of the most enduring works of this period, presenting Jesus as a dude in a tee shirt, addressing modern day folks in a playground.

Palm Canyon Theatre is back, and I couldn't be happier! Rather than opening post-pandemic with a gigantic blockbuster, they decided on You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and the audiences are the winners from that decision.
