"Godspell" is a musical by Stephen Schwartz with a book by John-Michael Tebelak, first performed in 1971. The show is a modern, musical retelling of the Gospel of Matthew, focusing on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, specifically his ministry and the relationships he forms with his disciples. The tone is upbeat, comedic, and often playful, blending biblical themes with contemporary music and humor.
"Godspell" is known for its energetic, rock-influenced score, featuring songs like "Day by Day," "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," and "By My Side." It combines the sacred with the secular, using humor and contemporary references to make the biblical story accessible and engaging for audiences of all backgrounds.
