Yes, I know...everyone did Godspell in high school. I was one of them, and it was a really awesome show to be in. It is now back on broadway and it looks so cool. I have a watched a few youtube clips of some rehearsals and then the preview for the show and they utilize some really interesting techniques. First off, they have a water pit and about 10 trampolines on stage, which made me think of script analysis because we were talking about how to get certain elements on stage. Then, there is the fact that the theatre in in the round. I love theatre in the round. I think it is a very interesting way to keep both the audience and the actors engaged. I have acted on an in the round stage and it makes the experience so real because you don't have to worry AS MUCH about cheating out to the audience. The final thing that I saw that made me really want to go see this is that they make puppets on the spot out of newspaper and use them to help tell the parables. On top of this all I just like the music.
