34. Godspell

from Before the Downbeat: A Musical Podcast · host Mackenzie Horner

This week Autumn and Mackenzie have heard the call and are preparing the way of the lord as they head to 1970s New York to discuss the gospel inspired musical Godspell! These two talk about this musical's serious dramaturgical problems while also exploring how this musical  could work today if reimagined correctly. They also deep dive into the concept of organized religion and how this musical could be warning us against it.  Plus find out how Jermey Irons and Eugene Levy are connected to this piece. All this plus some very repetitive church hymns this week on the podcast! Don't forget to leave us a review and share your thoughts on this episode on our social media pages.
