Broadway’s Godspell Postponed

The sluggish economy has not been good to Broadway.  It is more evident now with the recent announcement that the production of Godspell will be postponed, largely due to the loss of a major and essential investor in the show.  Producer Adam Epstein was quoted in a statement re-posted on Playbill.com saying that he was “deeply disappointed,” but that “it is my goal to regroup as soon as possible.”  Composer Schwartz expressed similar sentiments and both were hopeful that the show will go on at some undetermined date in the future.

According to press notes posted on Playbill.com, the musical uses “improvisation and contemporary themes to illustrate the parables, [bringing] these lessons to life through the grand tradition of musical theater.”  Some popular songs from the show include: “Day by Day,” “Save the People” and “All Good Gifts.”  Keep posted with all the relevant happenings and when the time arises be sure to check out the production and get your Godspell tickets from Stubhub.com.
