A Musical Celebration of Community, Spirit, and Joy. Godspell is a vibrant and deeply human musical that brings the teachings of Jesus to life through parables, playful storytelling, and a genre-blending score. The 2012 Broadway revival reimagines the beloved original with fresh orchestrations, contemporary rhythms, and an even stronger emphasis on connection and collaboration.
This ensemble-driven production invites performers who are expressive, open-hearted, and ready to work as a team. Each cast member plays a unique version of themselves, sharing in both the humor and the heart of the story. If you love character work, creative staging, and music that lifts the soul, we encourage you to audition.
