Summary: LOVE IN A NUTSHELL!
Review: Zany, wacky, clever, funny, talented, and loveable are all of the cast. GREAT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! You'll probably see a little (or maybe a whole lot) of yourself in the characters! Set to modern day, 'John th Baptist' prepares the way of the Lord in a hilarious baptismal scene, where Jesus comes to be baptized. Then all those there recognize Him, and become His followers to the end and beyond! What a great community is formed as they grow in their individual faith. The music is wonderful...and will have you humming "Prepare Ye the Way", "O Bless the Lord My Soul", "Day by Day", "We Beseech Thee" and even "Turn Back O Man" everywhere you go. But you will pull out the tissues for "On The Willows There", and "By My Side" which are are performed well. You will laugh; you will cry; and you will rejoice with the cast as they hear the gospell in this 'today-looking' setting. I won't give away the ending...but you have got to see this movie....it's to die for! Go ahead ...dare to be put under God's spell!

Summary: Engaging and delightful
Review: It is so wonderful to have this movie available, and on DVD! The small cast is full of personality and talent, and incredible nonstop energy. The score has more memorable tunes than any in recent memory, each flawlessly presented. The skits are a little variable, although the telling of the good Samaritan story still makes me giggle. David Haskell and Victor Garber are each perfect, visually and vocally, for their parts as John the Baptist and Jesus. But as a New Yorker, I have to say it: has any film ever used NYC so beautifully, from the Great Lawn in Central Park to an unfinished World Trade Center tower to almost every inch of Lincoln Center.

Summary: Perfect Message..Must See for all fans of Live-Theatre
Review: Godspell..how can I sum up such emotion. Having been involved with the stage play of Godspell, I saw first hand how touching this musical is. It truely lay claim to ones heart. The catchy rhythems, the "current" (70s) back drop, only make this already fabulous story more colorful. The movie captures the spirit of the musical, but lacks only one thing. The raw emotion that seeing it live can bring. It is a must have for all, but rember this is an adaption, not meant to poke fun of or demean the original story. Just a supposed what if Jesus had come in 73..the reality of the story therein..wil capture your heart.

Summary: godspell
Review: Godspell is a very "70's" musical, very touching and moving movie. It make for not only an entertaining view of Christ life, but it is truly momerable. I fist saw it in the 70's and have enjoyed watching, many times since. With all this 70's "retro" stuff back in, I think it is something that will touch a new generation.

Summary: A wonderful film that fills you with joy and spirit!
Review: I first saw this movie last year while on vacation in Branson, MO. I couldn't believe how wonderful it was. The music, lyrics, acting, costumes and everything else about this movie is great. I've watched it several times since then and now it is on my list of all-time favorite movies. This story of the last days of Jesus is a truly moving story for anyone who has a belief in Jesus Christ. The parables in this story really help bring to life the Gospel of Matthew. I recommend this film to anyone and everyone who wants to watch a film that will leave you singing and dancing. O Bless the Lord, my soul!

Summary: The music makes the movie.
Review: If you're looking for a film that is a study in cinematography, this isn't it. The power of this movie comes through the music, and the acting serves to accentuate the point the songs are trying to make.I'm amazed that none of those who have reviewed this film so far have mentioned that the songwriter for this film is Stephen Schwartz. Who? You know, the guy who wrote the songs for Disney's "Pocahontas" and "Hunchback of Notre Dame" and more recently, Dreamworks "Prince of Egypt". The music evokes a whole gamut of emotions. Awe, joy, happiness, reverence, adoration and finally, sorrow. Because of this, even though this movie does not SHOW you Christ like some movies do, you EXPERIENCE who Christ was better than just about any other movie about His life that is out there.

Summary: Life Changing!
Review: I saw Godspell when I was in high school many years ago. It totally turned me on to the power of love and caused me to go to church to learn more about Jesus. The music and the modern day New York scenes were fantastic.

Summary: Inspiring for all ages!
Review: I have been watching Godspell since I was a little kid. Godspell was my movie that I watched so often I wore out the tape! This show is inspirational for all ages. A good observation of how normal everyday working class people can be affected by power of the Lord. I think that it teaches everyone to keep their heart open to the faith! O Bless the Lord!

Summary: For all ages for all time
Review: I first saw this film when it released in 1973 ... and have been waiting for it on video for many years ... a story for all ages, for all time. I now watch it with my children, grandchild and other children in the neighborhood. The music tells this story in a way that people enjoy, respond to and learn from.
