Auditions announced in the Oklahoma City area for the musical “Godspell.”
Oklahoma City Parks & Recreation will hold an open casting call for Godspell, a musical by John-Michael Tebelak.
About Godspell:
Godspell premiered off-Broadway in 1971. Created by composer Stephen Schwartz and librettist John-Michael Tebelak, the musical is based on the Gospel of Matthew and features a series of parables and teachings by Jesus Christ.
The show is known for its upbeat and energetic music, which draws inspiration from a range of musical styles including rock, pop, and gospel. It also features a cast of colorful characters, including John the Baptist and a group of disciples, who help to bring the teachings of Jesus to life.
Despite its religious subject matter, Godspell has a universal message of love, compassion, and acceptance, which has made it a popular musical with audiences of all backgrounds and beliefs. It has been performed in numerous countries around the world, and has been adapted into multiple film and stage productions.
