In a time of turmoil, the Grammy Award-Winning Composer of WICKED & PIPPIN packs a powerful punch by taking over the entire Eagle Theatre, quite literally.
Chockfull of hit rock songs, topical humor and irresistible goodwill, GODSPELL spreads the power of love by modernizing a series of parables, using a wide variety of pop-culture references, games, and audience interaction.
Co-Artistic Director Ted Wioncek III claims "Eagle Theatre's production is unique in several ways; the creative team has rewritten the script to suit a modern audience. The actors play musical instruments during the performance, and the theatre has been transformed. The audience will be seated "in the round", as the action takes place all around them throughout the entire theatre."
The cast features an all-star comedic troupe of eccentric Eagle Theatre favorites, many who appeared in the Eagle Theatre's Barrymore Award Nominated production of HEATHERS - THE MUSICAL.
"We have created a fresh new version of GODSPELL that is for everyone, and shows us how to coexist, no matter what you may believe. What better timing could you ask for? The upcoming presidential election has the entire country in an uproar... Meanwhile, we chant Come Sing About Love." It may feel a bit late 1960's counterculture, but the message remains every bit as prevalent today. In fact, maybe more." concluded Wioncek.
