Roxbury Arts Alliance presents Godspell, a rock opera with messages of unity, kindness, tolerance, and love according to the Gospel with storytelling, humor and pathos.

An eclectic blend of storytelling techniques, songs and comic timing tells the story of Jesus' life, dissolving into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion.

Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), and it took the world by storm. It broke new ground in its stage treatment of the historical Jesus Christ when it first appeared on Broadway in 1971.


GODSPELL is presented through a special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).  All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI.  www.mtishows.com
