GODSPELL at SHAWNEE STATE UNIVERSITY

Godspell is a unique and joyful musical based on the Gospel of Matthew. Debuting Off-Off-Broadway in 1971, it features a catchy and eclectic score by Stephen Schwartz (composer of Wicked and Pippin) alongside a book by John-Michael Tebelak.

A loose-knit group of performers portray Jesus and his disciples. Through a mix of games, pantomime, vaudeville, and contemporary music styles, they bring Jesus' parables and teachings to life. The iconic song "Day by Day" is featured in this energetic show.
