		Godspell was originally conceived, written and directed by John-Michael Tebelak (who originally wrote Godspell as his Masters Thesis project at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1971), with music and new lyrics by Steven Schwartz (Schwartz's credit of "new lyrics" is because several of the show's original lyrics originated from the Episcopal hymnal).

		Jesus was a pretty popular guy in New York in 1971; as the ersatz star of both Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar.
		If Superstar was a little dark, Godspell was positively frothy; and its portrayal of Jesus as a hippie clown was part of its goofy charm.
		I actually hope one day to be part of a performance of Godspell, though I'd rather be part of this older version than the modernist revival.

		Unlike Jesus Christ Superstar, which is superior storytelling but inferior recitation of chapter and verse, Godspell floats along with little forward momentum, using only the lesson-intensive gospel of St. Matthew for its minimal plot.
		Godspell is full of color and a dear hippie mindset, but it is often too quirky for its own good, full of characters acting so goofy that it seems they've been brainwashed rather than willingly converted.
		Godspell, while at first seeming entirely bizarre and maybe even mocking, once you take a good look at it, you can see that they are really presenting the teachings of Jesus (whereas Superstar only presented the 'drama' of the story) in a fun and creative way that doesn't take away from the message.

	Godspell Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		In the word according to Godspell, Jesus (Victor Garber) is a Manhattan hippie whose disciples, led by two-faced John the Baptist/Judas (David Haskell), roam the city enacting the Parables.
		Alas, there are few such moments in Godspell and most of the acting in the film is little more than shameless mugging.
		Thespian lapses aside, Godspell is close to irresistible, blessed by a sunny goodwill geared to winning over all but the most cynical.

		Once you get into the fun, innocent, tie-dyed feel of the early 1970s (or at least when it doesn't jar you so much) you can begin to see Godspell for the brilliant production that it is. The musical score is fabulous and I have heard most of it used in church over the years.
		It is an intriguing film experience that started life as a masters thesis project and took on a life of its own.
		'Godspell' is an old english version of the word 'gospel' which means good news.

		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.
		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.

	Godspell, Hempstead High School March 2005
		When Godspell premiered in 1971, it was indeed controversial, but the way was already paved by earlier hits like Jesus Christ Superstar.
		Nonetheless, the controversy over interpretations of the life of Christ persists today and it should come as no surprise.
		It means two productions this season of the Broadway hit, Godspell, one performed by Hempstead and Godspell, Jr.
