PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION:
A modern and sometimes comedic retelling of the Biblical parables and the last seven days of Christ’s life. One of the most successful musicals in history, it is a joyous, contemporary retelling of the Gospel according to St. Matthew in music, mime, and comedy which is sometimes comedic and at times sentimental. The list of recognizable songs is long, and includes Save the People, Turn Back, O Man, and Day by Day.
ROLES AVAILABLE:
The cast for “Godspell” features a total of 5 women and 5 men, preferably 21 and older, but will consider younger.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS: (Vocal ranges listed)
Jesus: Must be the most charismatic individual in the cast. High energy, charming, funny, gentle but with strength. (Tenor or high baritone G# top note)
John the Baptist/Judas: He has attributes of both Biblical figures: He is both Jesus’ lieutenant and most ardent disciple and the doubter who begins to question and rebel. Like Jesus, he is also charismatic. (Baritone Eb top solo note, should have an E for harmonies)
Jeffrey: Very high energy, impish and playful. (Tenor-falsetto high D above staff)
Lamar: Not the brightest in the bunch. There is a great sweetness and innocence about him. Strong vocals a MUST! (Tenor-high A)
Herb: The comedian, the class clown. Mulitiple voices and imitations. (Baritone, should have an E for harmonies)
Robin: A bit of a tomboy, but basically open and sweet. Her song, “Day by Day”. (Alto or Mezzo)
Joanne: The confident one, the show-off. (Soprano-high A in “Bless the Lord” high C (“violin” note) in “We Beseech Thee”)
Peggy: The shy one. (Alto)
Sonia: Sassy and slightly cynical, the most urban of the group. (Alto-low D below the staff)
Gilmer: The female equivalent of the class clown. Strong comedienne. (Mezzo)
