From famed Wicked composer and lyricist, Stephen Schwartz, comes his first major musical offering, GODSPELL.

A small group of storytellers help tell different parables with a hefty dose of humor and pathos using an eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville. This show is a sensation that continues to touch audiences with its messages of kindness, tolerance, and love.
