The Alhambra Theatre and Dining is proud to present the acclaimed Broadway musical “Godspell”, and you would do yourself a great dishonor if you miss this one. As I said in my Small Group, “I resolve NOT to be so Spirit minded that I’m NO earthly good.” Some people got up and left the show during the middle of the first act and it must have been very disturbing to the actors, because it was to my husband and me. Those people will NOT be able to show anyone the goodness of God.
The whole presentation is a modern-day interpretation of WWJD. Sure, there were no cell phones in the days of Christ and His Disciples, yet the subtle differences will attract young people to the knowledge of the truth, and will entertain those who are more mature.
There is nothing blasphemous about “Godspell” the musical, nonetheless, it’s wonderful to see the scriptures come to life, even if one doesn’t know any Bible stories - there is something for everyone, both young and mature. A smile stayed on my face during most of the play. The only scripture mistake was during the Last Supper; only one disciple would deny that they knew Jesus. For those who are Bible scholars, I challenge you to find any other fault with this man or this show.
And for those who don’t know the Bible according to Matthew - learn about the journey of Jesus Christ and His Peeps. There are so many short stories intertwined with marvelous songs and dance from the ENTIRE CAST. Major Kudos to everyone! Loved the interaction that the cast had with the audience. You will enjoy a touch of vaudeville, Broadway, slapstick, harmony, energy and meaningful interpretations. And don’t forget to ask Tod Booth about the meaning of “the Flower” that Jesus presented to the other cast members; or can you guess?
OBTW, Kudos go to the staff of servers and the following: lighting (Daniel Dungan), props (Dave Dionne & Ian Black), choreography (Shain Stroff), line changes (Tod Booth), and for costumes (Camala Pitts & Dorinda Quiles).
I challenge anyone to attend and let me know your thoughts on “Godspell” now appearing at the Alhambra Theater & Dining. My husband saw both Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell when he was in high school, and he was very impressed with this production. (Video Photos courtesy of Jamie Iames)
