Godspell features a score by Stephen Schwartz and a book by John-Michael Tebelak. Godspell is based on “The Gospel According to St. Matthew”, the show, according to press notes, uses “improvisation and contemporary themes to illustrate the parables, [brings] these lessons to life through the grand tradition of musical theatre.”
