Godspell (2011)

Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak’s 'Godspell' returned to Broadway in a spectacular, hyper-energetic 2011 revival that brought a vibrant contemporary polish to the Circle in the Square Theatre. Utilizing an immersive, completely in-the-round staging configuration, the rock musical translates the biblical parables of the Gospel of St. Matthew into a fluid playground of modern vaudeville, improvisation, and community spirit. Scored to iconic standards like "Day by Day," the production achieved immense cultural profile due to its breakout young ensemble cast, starring Hunter Parrish as Jesus alongside Telly Leung, Wallace Smith, and Lindsay Mendez.
