color:black'>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.</span><span
