Summary: Finally, it's HERE!!!!
Review: Ever since I saw this movie in an artsy theater 20 years ago, I have been looking for a tape of it. The music, so 60's, is beautiful, especially the folk-style song the women sing to Jesus before his death. The scene with Jesus and Joh the Baptist dancing in front of animated lights, which act as their shadows, is amazing.The joy, the sheer love of music and of God that comes through the screen makes me weep as the disciples carry the body of Jesus through the streets of NY, dancing. This is the best presentation I have ever seen of the teachings of Christ, and the meaning of His coming to earth.

Summary: A Movie the Family Can Watch Together
Review: Yes, it is corny and innocent. There is no swearing nor are there nude scenes. The script is old and has been done before. But, for me, "Godspell" captures the true spirit of Christianity, perhaps what God and Christ really had in mind.

Summary: Happy, energetic and insightful
Review: This classic film has reached many with an upbeat and creataive format for the teachings of Christ. I run a small in home day care and was pleasantly shocked to see the little children totally entranced! They sang and danced along with the characters on screen. There were a few sections I was concerned they would find disturbing, but insted of being affraid, they had compassion. One little girl even cried,and said,"why couldn't they just love him?" Boy! that almost made ME cry. This has sparked questions between the children and thier parents and some parents have told me they opened their Bibles again for the first time in years!

Summary: Eye-catching, clever, educational and entertaining.
Review: The only way I could get my teen-age church school class to pay attention to the events which have so changed the history of the western world. GODSPELL instructs as it entertains and appeals to what is important to young people: belongingness, identification, and present reality. The Musical brings a 2000 year old story into the present without loss of meaning or appeal.

Summary: What an upbeat way to show the price he paid. Praise Him!!!
Review: When I was a child we went to a local theater in town 2 blocks from my house. We had been there many times,however the only movie I completely remember seeing was Godspell. I was 13 yrs old. Now finally I have it to watch over and over. I have been unable to find it till now. Thanx Amazon. Thank you Jesus!! You paid a debt you didn't owe in order that I might live.

Summary: Memories and tears ....
Review: I know people who compare it to play versions they've seen ... who can't get passed the 'hippie' themes ... who try to measure this film against some 'Important Movie Elements' yardstick ... and they miss the point. This is not great movie making. It is great story telling! The emotions it invokes are incredible. The retelling of Jesus's parables are terrific. The way it turns from joy to sorrow at the drop of a hat (the farewell scene with On the Willows is the most moving). The characterization of Jesus and Katie -- and my personnel favorite John the Baptist). This is one not to be missed.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I am so pleased that GODSPELL is available on video now. The musical, cast recordings and the movie of GODSPELL were all - and still are - amongst the most creative depictions of Christ's life, made accessible to people at the end of the 20th century. I loved the movie, GODSPELL, for its vibrancy; for the truly lovely songs, which were moving and happy and funny by turn; for the fine acting and direction; for its urban setting of New York City; and for making my Christian faith come alive for others too. It takes me back to my childhood in the 70s, and makes me grateful for what a happy time that was. I am delighted to find that so many others felt the same about this movie.

Summary: It got me thru a hard time.
Review: This musical has meant very much to me. I absolutely LOVE it. There was a time in my life where I was wavering in my beliefs about God. This music in record form was all I listened to anymore. But God spoke to me thru it and I eventually came to more sure footing in my walk with God. Now I have 5 kids that love it like I do. There ages go from 18 to 5. Yes it is comical but in it contains the words of life.

Summary: Fantastic!!
Review: The cast was assembled, of many members of the various touring companies; that were performing the stageplay in 1972. Although the 90's Generation-X may find it corny, I feel it is untouched by time.Godspell is a collection of Bible stories, and parables; set to the beat of Rock & Roll, and Gospel music. The story is set in modern day New York City (1973) Where a band of vagabons tell the stories of The Gospel according to St. Matthew.Godspell is a must see, for the entire family.
