Prepare Ye: 'Godspell' Returns to Broadway Summer 2008

A film version of Godspell was released in 1973 set in modern New York City.  The cast featured Toronto alum Victor Garber as Jesus, David Haskell as John the Baptist/Judas and Lynne Thigpen in her first film role.  John-Michael Tebelak co-wrote the screenplay and served as the creative consultant. The song "Beautiful City" was written for the film and has subsequently been performed in major stage revivals of the show.  Godspell permeated pop culture when its song "Day By Day" reached #13 on the Billboard Top 100 list.
