Editorial Reviews

Directors David Greene and John-Michael Tebelak collaborate with composer Stephen Schwartz to bring his wildly successful Broadway musical, Godspell, to the big screen. Told almost entirely in song, Godspell presents the gospel of St. Matthew updated to New York City of the late '60s/early '70s, featuring Jesus Christ as a wandering minstrel dressed like a circus clown. By blowing on an instrument that reaches only the ears of a select few around the bustling city, John the Baptist (David Haskell) summons nine simpatico hippies to a fountain in Central Park, where they revel in the waters of their baptism. When Christ (Victor Garber) joins the group, the free-flowing fraternal love solidifies into a desire to spread the word of God around the city. Outfitting themselves in a nearby junkyard that bursts with color, the lively group makes its way around a sparsely populated fairy-tale version of the city, re-enacting Biblical parables with great enthusiasm and flamboyance. Opting for a lighter yet more devout approach than its thematically similar Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell features an equivalent number of hummable hit songs, notably "Prepare Ye (The Way of the Lord)," "By My Side," and "Day by Day." ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

Reaches the people!by Anonymous

January 24, 2004: Godspell was sure to reach the masses in the 70s, but it will also reach the masses for our generation now. Now more than ever we need people to know who Jesus is and what He told His followers and in this movie, its done in a way that even someone who knows nothing of Jesus will hear and pick up on the parables of Christ. The world has been slowly fading God out of lives of people but here's a movie to put a spark back in their spirits. Interestingly, the twin towers are in view when Jesus weeps over the city, almost prophetic.

Great Movie for a Great Musicalby Anonymous

April 25, 2003: I have had the oppurtunity to perform this musical as Jesus and it is a truly wonderful story. This movie presents that story in a fresh, exciting way that keeps you hooked through every Scripture story and song. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who would like to see a great musical.
