An American Kirtan! THIS is how I discovered Spirituality. Thanks to the Creators of this who made the Gospels accessible to athiests like me! I just returned from Assisi and Rome where the stories of the Clara and Francesco haunt me. How like the Cast of Godspell they were - taking the teachings to the street and putting them into an action that is understandable to someone like me....
Wow I can't believe the original cast is writing on here, hahaha. Seeing that made my day today. I got the lead for Jesus 3 weeks ago for a production of Godspell in CA. I feel inspired to to hear you all chatting on here. I feel like I'm meeting you even more now. The performance was amazing to, such a beautiful musical.
This is SUCH a treat!!! I love this show, having done it in high school in 1986-- and to see that there are original cast members here and commenting is SO COOL to me. You were and are an inspiration-- your energy and enthusiasm for this great show has helped make it the everlasting treasure it is today. Thank you so much for posting this!!! :)
Omg! I almost forgot we did the Grammys. We did so many tv shows back then. I miss my buddy Lamar. He and I shared a dressing room @ the Cherry Lane theatre. The newbies to the LaMama cast. I can remember the smell of the theatre. Yummm. JJ
It was eight out of ten of us. Jeffrey and I were still finishing commitments out of town. Two understudies took over for us in this shoot. But, you'll still see Steve Nathan, Lamar, Herby and Sonia in this shoot and you'll see all of us in The Today Show footage! Peggy Gordon
@Tarotlynx :Yes, this was for the 1972 Grammy's. Robin and I were talking about this yesterday. She was laughing at her performance... felt it was a little over the top, but this is the actual choreography that John-Michael Tebelak created for this song (different lighting).
@larkluster Oh my gosh...that is so awesome..... god I wish I was born when gene kelly and this were still cool. You met everyone from Godspell!!! You were in it!!! Lucky.....im only 12...lol in fact I just turned twelve today! But, WOW thats so cool!!!!!!! :DD
@larkluster I'm directing this for Mariemont Players in Cincy, OH july 2011 & would love to discuss w/any original cast member. my email is mikemorehead71@yahoo.com. I was part of the directing team for what I believe was the 1st amateur contract awarded for this show to Purcell HS Mike Morehead
Ok, this is the original lol. Because, it's also David Haskell, though clean shaven and Lamar with the big, wonderfully out of place, opera voice lol.
Robin looks a little like Melissa Joan Hart!

This doesn't look like all of the original cast. I thought original casts usually stuck it out through the Tony Awards.

Omg, is this the original cast? That's probably a dumb question because the singer is obviously Robin Lamont.
