Where are Stephen and David? Didn't Stephen have an introductory speech before Gilmer's first line?

[hallwaypro]

Depends on which production you're doing. This production was the 1977 version. There is also a revival production that came out close to 2000.

I was in Godspell recently...I wish we had done Tower of Babble!

[hallwaypro]

Some productions unfortunately don't have strong enough singers to cover 'Tower Of Babble'. That's usually a director's choice. I've also seen productions that included 'City of God' which is from the 2000 revival version of the musical. Godspell is always a good show to be a part of expecially when each production is unique. When it works, it works. Keep up the good work.

really? i didnt even know there was a song called city of god i thought it was beautiful city! idkkkk! ill look into that! im doing this show now, im judas :-)

[hallwaypro]

Thanks for clearing up the confusion. The song is 'Beautiful City'. :-) I hope you experience the joy that comes from being part of a cast that truly enjoys what they're doing like I was. Of course I've heard of other casts that weren't too successfull in that area. You'll know pretty soon when you're in such a cast. Good luck with the show.

We're doing this for a music at our school

Ewwww their Nietzche does it down the octave

@JGCooney As a matter of fact we did have the Jesus line (the one that opens the show, right? speaking as God?) but I don't think we considered it part of the song. You can actually hear it in the "trailer" Hallwaypro made for this production

This seems kind of slow compared to the pace my theatre group is doing it at, but I still like it. The argument is clear and wonderful :) You have some talented singers.

The 1977 libretto has Stephen-Jesus having a line before Gilmer McCormick.
