Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
Godspell
Jesus. The first person to play the role of Jesus in Godspell was named Steven, so in some versions of the script, the character of Jesus is written as Steven, instead of Jesus.
a chain link fence. This is actually done in MOST productions, because that is the way it is written. It is, of course, up to the director to decide how to - for lack of a better phrase - kill Jesus.
No. I always wondered why Sophocles was not included in the "Tower of Babble" scene. If anybody knows, I would appreciate it if you would mail me that information after you finish the quiz.
St. Matthew. Many things were taken directly out of the Gospel according to St. Matthew: this play, Christmas songs, etc...
You viper's brood!. This whole monologue was taken directly from the Gospel according to St. Matthew. It's almost word for word. "You viper's brood! Who warned you to escape from the coming retrobution?..."
John the Baptist and Judas. A simple costume change and John the Baptist is magically transformed into Judas Iscariot. It's a miracle!?
eleven. "Tower of babel, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble, babble. High above the rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. babble, rabble, babble, rabble, babble, rabble."
John the Baptist. In most productions, John the Baptist and Judas are played by the same actor. (When I did it, we had a female John the Baptist and a male Judas).
Stephen Schwartz. Stephen Schwartz also wrote, among other things, "Wicked" and "Pippin".
Rejoice. In an attempt to cheer his disciples up after a confrontation with Judas, Jesus reads the bottom of someone's shoe as another would read palms or tea leaves.
the Lord. The last phrase of the "Finale" is "Prepare ye the way of the Lord."
5. Jesus: "Oh God, I'm bleeding.
Oh God, I'm bleeding."
Ensemble: "Oh God, you're bleeding!"
Jesus: "Oh God, I'm dying."
Ensemble: "Oh God, you're dying."
Jesus: "Oh God, I'm dying."
Jesus: "Oh God, I'm dead."
Ensemble: "Oh God, you're dead.
Oh God, you're dead.
Oh God, you're dead."
