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." Drawing from various theatrical
traditions, such as clowning, pantomime, charades, acrobatics and
vaudeville, "Godspell" is a groundbreaking and unique reflection on the
life of Jesus, with a message of kindness, tolerance and love.
