About the Play: Godspell made its off-Broadway debut on May 17, 1971. Written by
John-Michael Tebelak and composed by
Stephen Schwartz, the show won instant acclaim for its gentle but very powerful message. Godspell is a celebration that is spirited, loving, sprinkled with wry humor and bolstered with a rousing selection of songs - rock, folk, country, and pop - all neatly woven in and around the parables and teachings of Jesus. In short, a rollicking celebration of man ... alive, relevant, and joyful! Featured songs include: "Day By Day," "All Good Gifts," "O Bless the Lord," "Light of the World," and "By My Side."
