GODSPELL

The musical is a timeless tale of friendship, loyalty and love based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew. The 2012 edition is a retelling of the original sensation, injected with contemporary references and dazzling new arrangements. The work was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden); and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."

An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage (or altar) in a compelling story told in a unique church setting – First United Methodist Church, a welcoming and fiercely inclusive community.

Broadway star (Glinda, Wicked) and accomplished author (Waiting in the Wings) Tiffany Haas* returns to Omaha to direct the ensemble cast, in collaboration with associate stage director, Fran Sillau (Circle Theatre).

Joining the Followers are members of Résonance and the Youth Ensemble together with the Chancel Choir from First United Methodist Church, all led by award-winning composer (American Guild of Organists) and music director Mark Kurtz.
