³Paul Kerryson¹s high energy production is uplifting² (The Guardian)
A sensational cast includes TOM BRADLEY (ITV¹s ŒGrease is the Word¹ finalist) as Jesus with, SHARON CHERRY BALLARD, CHRISTOPHER BARTLETT, ADRIEN DALLER, TIFFANY GRAVES, YILDEZ HUSSEIN, LUCY KERRANS- HUNT, RICHARD MEEK and CRAIG PURNELL
³A script shot through with glorious humour² (Northern Echo)
GODSPELL features a sparkling score by Stephen Schwartz and boasts a string of international hits including ³Day By Day², ³Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord² and ³By My Side². Originally premiered in 1971 it became one of the biggest Broadway successes of all times with productions worldwide. The show, written by college student John-Michael Tebelak and Stephen Schwartz (of Pippin, and more recently Wicked fame), went on to win rave reviews and a Grammy Award for Best Score
