Godspell

Spotlight Children’s Theatre will perform the big off-Broadway and Broadway hit March 6-9 and 13-16, 2014.

Spotlight Children’s Theatre will present the musical “Godspell” March 6-9 and 13-16 at the Spotlight Theater, 1381 Riverside Drive in Tulsa. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on March 6, 7, 13 and 14, and at 2 p.m. on March 8, 9, 15 and 16.
    “Godspell” is one of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes of all time. Based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew, and featuring a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz, “Godspell” boasts a string of well-loved songs, led by the international hit, “Day By Day.” As the cast performs “Prepare Ye The Way Of The Lord,” “Learn Your Lessons Well,” “All For The Best,” “All Good Gifts,” “Turn Back, O Man” and “By My Side,” the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and heartening to life.
    Drawing from various theatrical traditions, such as pantomime, charades, and vaudeville, the show offers several musical styles. “‘Godspell’ is a ­groundbreaking and unique reflection on the life of Jesus, with a ­message of kindness, ­tolerance and love,” says Terry Grufik, director of the production.
    The all-student ensemble cast of 18 includes students ages 12 to 17 from Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Sapulpa and Mounds. Terry and Kathy Grufik serve as the directors of the musical and have ­created a contemporary ­version to make it more ­relevant to the youth of today.
    Tickets are $10 for adults, $9 for seniors and $8 for children (12 and under). For more information or ­ticket reservations, contact the Spotlight Theater. Reservations are highly ­recommended as shows tend to fill quickly.
    The next children’s ­production will be “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse” in June. Children are encouraged to attend the auditions April 7 and 8.
