Godspell
Information night Thursday 15th November Performances May 2008 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 and hearteningly to life. Though Godspell is often performed by schools and churches with large chorus, N.U.C.M.S' production will follow the original casting, using an intimate ensemble of ten performers. The Jesus figure is clearly defined by the script, while another actor portrays a less sharply drawn character incorporating aspects of John The Baptist, Judas Iscariot, and Jesus' right-hand man. The ensemble members, whilst not portraying specific Biblical disciples, nevertheless display the human strengths and failings of the disciples as they learn to live in community, through the comedy and drama of the Gospel teachings.
