This almighty celebration of friendship, loyalty and love is bursting with boundless energy and features a multi-talented ten-strong cast – all members of cut to the chase… the Queen’s professional resident company of actor-musicians.
From John and Judas to prophets and parables, Director Matt Devitt’s stylish urban-inspired production retells the timeless story of Jesus – as told in the Gospels – in a gloriously colourful way. With music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz – the Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer of Wicked – Godspell’s wonderfully uplifting soundtrack is jam-packed with soul-stirring pop, folk and rock hits such as Light of the World, Prepare Ye, Day by Day and many more.
The cast includes cut to the chase… company members Ellie Rose Boswell, Patrick Burbridge, Georgina Field, Deborah Hewitt, Callum Hughes, Sam Kordbacheh, Megan Leigh Mason, Sean Needham, Sam Pay and Sarah Scowen.
