Godspell is a musical in two acts with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by John-Michael Tebelak.  The show is structured as a series of parables, primarily based on the Gospel of Matthew, interspersed with music mostly set to lyrics from traditional hymns, with the passion of Christ appearing briefly near the end.

Godspell began as a project by drama students at Carnegie Mellon University and then moved to the off-off-Broadway theater La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club in the East Village of Manhattan. The show was rescored for an off-Broadway production, which opened on May 17, 1971, and became a long-running success. In 2011 Godspell has a Broadway revival with an updated score making the music more contemporary.  We will be performing the 2011 revival score.
