It opened on May 17, 1971, and has played in various touring companies and revivals many times since, including a 2011 revival which played on Broadway from October 13, 2011, to June 24, 2012. Several have been released over the years and one of its songs, ' from the original cast album, reached #13 on the pop singles chart in the summer of 1972. The structure of the musical is that of a series of, mostly based on the (three of the featured parables are recorded only in the ). The parables are interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns, with the treated briefly near the end of the performance. It started as a college project performed by students at and moved to in.

It was then re-scored for an off-Broadway production which became a long-running success.

The producers hired, another alumnus of Carnegie Mellon's theater department, to write a new song score. Schwartz's songs incorporated a variety of musical styles, from to,, and. One song, 'By My Side', written by CMU students Jay Hamburger and Peggy Gordon, was kept from the original score.

As with the original score, most of the non-Schwartz lyrics were from the Episcopal Hymnal (see also the ). Characters [ ] The script assigns the following names and traits to the eight non-biblical characters who act out the parables and sing: Gilmer (silly and a great storyteller), Herb (goofy and entertaining), Jeffrey (happy and excited), Joanne (eager and enthusiastic), Lamar (clumsy and unintentionally funny), Peggy (shy and loyal), and Sonia (dramatic with a put-on sensuality). In the original script licensed through Theatre Maximus, the characters of the 'Christ' figure and the 'John' and 'Judas' role are assigned the names of original performers Stephen and David. In the revised script that reflects the 2011 Broadway revival, the names of the cast are again assigned to the roles of the soloists, and are each given a brief description of character traits: Nick, Telly, George, Anna Maria, Lindsay, Uzo, Morgan, and Celisse. All ten actors are on stage throughout the show. Synopsis [ ]. This section needs additional citations for.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (December 2011) () Act One [ ] The show begins with 's Voice, spoken by Jesus, declaring his supremacy: 'My name is Known: God and King. I am most in majesty, in whom no beginning may be and no end.'

('Opening (Monologue)'). The company then enters and takes the role of various philosophers throughout the ages (as noted above, sometimes this section of the play is excluded). They sing fragments of their respective philosophies, first as solos, and then in cacophonous ('Prologue: Tower of Babble'). In response to these philosophers, enters blowing a to call the community to order.

He then beckons them to 'Prepare Ye, The Way of the Lord!' , and baptizes the company ('Prepare Ye'). The company then exits the stage and John then gives a small sermon as watches quietly. He then announces his presence to John, and says he too wishes to be baptized.

John responds by, instead, asking to be baptized by Jesus. Jesus explains that 'We do well now to conform with all that God requires.' And is baptized by John. The company comes back on stage as they sing with Jesus. ('Save the People'.) In his first, Jesus explains to the company that he has come 'not to abolish the law and the prophets, but to complete'. (In the original production, the company donned clown makeup and face paint at this point.

Subsequent productions may instead use some object—a pin, a scarf, a badge, or a flower, for example—to denote that the company has become followers of Jesus.) Jesus explains to the company that those who adhere to the law of God will earn the highest place in the 'Kingdom of Heaven.' He tells them the parable of. God is a just jurist who will support those who cry out to him. The company begins to understand Jesus and his teachings, and they take it upon themselves to tell the story of the and the tax gatherer praying in the temple: 'Every man who humbles himself shall be exalted!' As Jesus teaches of the law regarding the offering of gifts at the altar, the company makes offerings—themselves.

They are taught that to approach God's altar, they must be pure of heart and soul. Then, they act out the story of a master and a servant who owes him a debt. The servant asks his master for pity in repaying the debt, and the master absolves it. The servant then turns to a fellow servant who 'owed him a few dollars' and demands that it be paid in full.

The master, hearing this, then condemns the servant to prison. Jesus explains the moral: 'Forgive your brothers from your heart.' The member of the company telling the parable sings 'Day by Day', and the company joins in. After the song, Jesus teaches that if one part of you offends God, it is better to lose it than to have the whole of the body thrown into hell. The company then plays charades (in the current production, with members from the audience) to finish several statements posed by Jesus, including 'If a man sues you for your shirt.'

And 'If a man asks you to go one mile with him.' Then, a cast member comes forward after charades saying: 'You wanna see a show?' The company performs the in the form of a play-within-a-play.

Jesus explains the need to 'love your enemies', and 'not make a show of religion before men'. He goes on to say: 'God will reward a good deed done in secret.' It's a secret!'

) The parable of and the rich man is next tackled by the company, who are quickly learning how to work together. On earth, the rich man feasts, and Lazarus begs and is ignored. Upon dying, Lazarus is rewarded with Heaven, while the rich man is in Hell.

We are told to 'Learn Your Lessons Well', or be faced with eternal damnation. When the rich man asks Abraham if he would send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his brothers of their impending doom, Abraham tells him no: 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone should rise from the dead.' Jesus teaches that no man can serve two masters—God and money.

A member of the company tells a story of a man who spent a lifetime acquiring the good things in life, then dies before he has the time to enjoy them. She sings 'Bless the Lord,' then Jesus tells them not to worry about tomorrow: 'Tomorrow will take care of itself. Today has problems of its own.' In an chorus, the company recites the., however, directs the final beatitude regarding persecution at Jesus, and Jesus quickly changes the subject. ('Did I ever tell you that I used to read feet?' ) However, with this Jesus persuades the company that it is 'All for the Best'; heaven contains the ultimate reward. Judas sings a verse, and the two do a soft shoe and a joke.

The company, and chorus if used, join in the final verse (sung in counterpoint) to bring the song to conclusion. This is followed by the, which Jesus tells them represent the Word of God. 'All Good Gifts' is sung to further illustrate the point. The action to this point, while amusing and entertaining, has been to do one thing—create from this rag-tag company a community of love and caring. At this point in the musical, they have formed this community and they now march as soldiers in the military, signifying their ability to think as one unit.

With Jesus as the drill sergeant, they segue into the famous. They sing 'Light of the World' about Christ's Light and how it should shine in each of us. Intermission [ ] Jesus thanks the audience for coming and announces a 10-minute intermission.

During the intermission, a couple of things happen involving the audience. In the original production, the cast joined the audience for wine and bread.

In the most recent Broadway production, wine was offered to the audience on stage. Then the second act opens with one or more cast members singing 'Learn Your Lessons Well' to call the audience back into the hall. Act Two [ ] After the reprise of 'Learn Your Lessons Well', a member of the community sings 'Turn Back, O Man', in which she implores mankind to give up its temporal pursuits and to turn to God. Then, Jesus says: 'This is the beginning.' At this point, several members of the community begin to question Jesus's authority, and he responds with yet another parable.

He is asked, 'What is the greatest commandment?' And responds, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' ' The Pharisees continue to question him, and he laments 'Alas for You', and calls them hypocrites.

Members of the community gather and join in his song, and throw garbage at the Pharisees. Jesus predicts that he will not be seen for quite a while, while standing at the ', and predicts great wars and famines. He reminds us of the time of, and teaches that faith can calm the storm. The community is told: 'Keep awake, then. For the will come at a time when you least expect it.'

One woman is cast out as an. Jesus says: 'Let the one of you who is faultless cast the first stone.'

Her accusers then bow their heads and walk away. Jesus walks over to her and asks: 'Woman.where are they now? Has no one condemned you?'

The woman answers: 'No one, sir.' He tells her: 'Then nor shall I. You may go, but do not sin again.' As she watches Jesus walk from her, she entreats him to remain 'By My Side'.

During this song, Judas foretells his upcoming betrayal of Jesus. In one of the lighter moments in the second act, Jesus tells how he will separate men as a shepherd separates his flock into and.

The sheep will enter heaven while the goats must suffer eternal damnation. 'We Beseech Thee' cry the goats, begging for mercy. After the song, the community reminds each other to take things 'Day By Day', as they remove their clown makeup (or other accoutrement). They assemble for the, and Jesus tells them that one of them will betray him. Each member of the community asks, 'Is it I?' Ending with Judas: 'Rabbi.can you mean me?' Jesus tells him to do quickly what he must do, and Judas runs off.

Jesus breaks the bread and shares the wine and tells his followers that they will dine together in the Kingdom of Heaven. The band sings 'On the Willows', which is about what has been sacrificed. In the song, Jesus says goodbye to the company members.

He asks that they wait for him as he goes into the to pray. In the garden, Jesus implores God that if there is another way, to let the burden be lifted from his shoulders. Jesus returns to his followers to find them all asleep; he begs them to stay awake, but they all fall asleep again, and Jesus warns them they will all betray him three times (a reference to the apostle ).

Jesus then prays to God that if his death cannot pass him by, then His will must be done. He is then tempted by (usually played by the apostles), but orders him away. Judas returns to betray Jesus, but has a moment where he cannot bring himself to do it, but finds himself boxed in by invisible walls, except for one path which leads to Jesus. Jesus encourages Judas to do what he has come to do, and Judas grabs Jesus to bring him to be. The community starts to attack Judas, while Jesus tells them to stop, as all who live by the sword will one day die by it. Judas (usually just him alone and as a representation of the others arresting Jesus) ties Jesus upon an electric fence - representative of the cross - as Jesus berates him for arresting him at night, but then says that it had to happen to fulfill the prophets' writings.

The 'Finale' begins, loud and in B-minor, with Jesus wailing, 'Oh, God, I'm bleeding,' and the community answers: 'Oh, God, You're bleeding.' Jesus dies and the music comes to a rest. The women of the company sing 'Long Live God', and the men join in with 'Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord' in counterpoint, as they remove Jesus from the fence and carry him out (either offstage or through the aisles of the auditorium). There is controversy over the fact that there is no obvious present in the show, although it can be interpreted that either the singing of 'Prepare Ye' in the finale or the curtain call (where all including Jesus return to the stage) is representative of the resurrection.

Some productions have placed the song 'Beautiful City' after the finale to show the Resurrection. However, in the MTI script, it states that while either view is valid, both miss the point, claiming the show is about love, not whether or not Jesus himself is resurrected.

Godspell Junior [ ] As part of Music Theater International's Broadway Junior series, Godspell Junior is a revised script meant to be performed by a younger cast.

In this 60 minute one-act, four songs were cut from the script, including 'Turn Back, O Man', 'Alas for You', 'By My Side', and 'On the Willows.' However, 'Beautiful City' with its updated lyrics is a part of the show.

For instance, sometimes cast members are thought to be 'hippies' or '.

The concept was derived by John-Michael Tebelak from a book by, a professor at, entitled Feast of Fools.' There has also been some controversy, or confusion over Godspell's lack of featuring a 'resurrection scene'. Archicad Keyboard Shortcuts Pdf Creator there. Rather than resurrect, Jesus dies in 'Finale' and the cast is commonly directed to lift his body over their heads and walk off through the audience to end the show before their bows. Most do not seem to understand why this is so. Stephen Schwartz has made a note of this in the script saying, Over the years, there has been comment from some about the lack of an apparent Resurrection in the show. Some choose to view the curtain call, in which JESUS appears, as symbolic of the resurrection; others point to the moment when the cast raise JESUS above their heads.

While either view is valid, both miss the point. GODSPELL is about the formation of a community which carries on JESUS' teachings after he has gone. In other words, it is the effect JESUS has on the OTHERS which is the story of the show, not whether or not he himself is resurrected. Therefore, it is very important at the end of the show that it be clear that the OTHERS have come through the violence and pain of the crucifixion sequence and leave with a joyful determination to carry on the ideas and feelings they have learned during the course of the show.
