Godspell - Stephen Schwartz

24th-27th July

Studio Theatre, mac

"Heavenly production. This is a show that leaves you gasping for adjectives. It's vibrant, happy, tender, sexy - impeccably drilled. Tom Bailey has coaxed some huge performances from this young company. The spirit of this remarkable production surges out from a stage that sometimes has 100 youngsters on it. At its heart, Curtis Allen comes to his Jesus with a confidence totally justified by his performance. The crucifixion is achieved with a riveting dignity, aided by excellent lighting. He is surrounded by a cast that enters wholeheartedly into the fun that is the show's trade mark but which in the second half has the kind of gravitas on tap that totally silenced a spellbound audience."
