| I was at CMU when Godspell was a graduate directing project. It has a completely different score (except for the one song that remained, by Peggy Gordon). When Lansbury and Beruh came to CMU to see the show, they loved the whole idea, but lew it needed a new score. Stephen Schwartz was at CMY at the time, but had nothing to do with the original GODSPELL- which was actually called THE GODSPELL The show had an initial run at LaMama with the CMU score. Beruh and Lansbury had hrard some songs from Schwartz's PIPPIN, then a work in progress, and thought he'd be right for Godspell. The show that opened at Cherry Lane was a page one rewrite. |
