Comparing Godspell to its near-contemporaries Jesus Christ Superstar and Hair is unavoidable, but Godspell has developed its own unique following. With their thrift-store-meets-circus-performer garb, the characters in David Greene's adaptation of the popular off-Broadway production may look more like the hippies in Hair than the biblical personages of Superstar. But Godspell isn't really about the "Age of Aquarius," nor does it adopt a dark or operatic tone towards its subject matter, the Gospel according to Matthew. The mood is, instead, upbeat and uplifting (at least until the crucifixion sequence).
The film opens with youthful city dwellers from various walks of life dropping their activities to follow John the Baptist (David Haskell from the original New York production). They sing ("Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord") as he leads them into a fountain where they are (metaphorically) baptized. There they meet Jesus (Victor Garber). Frizzy hair and mime makeup aside, the handsome young Garber (Titanic, Annie) is convincing in his film debut. Once baptized, they follow him around various scenic New York locations, singing and acting out passages from the Scriptures.
The largely unknown cast is talented and charismatic, but the film is only fitfully engaging on an emotional level because only Jesus, John, and Judas (Haskell again) emerge as distinct characters. Stephen Schwartz's pleasing pop-rock score, however, helps to smooth over the rough spots, and Robin Lamont's hit version of "Day by Day" remains a highlight. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

ＪＣスーパースターと時を同じくして日本で上映されたロックオペラです。派手さもなく僅かな登場人物のみで繰り広げられるキリストをモチーフにした作品は日本では短い上映期間で終了しました。しかしニューヨークをＣＧを使用しないでこんなに表現できる作品が今までにはなかったように思われます。又”悩めるキリスト”を描くのではなくこんなに心を暖かくする作品が今までにあったでしょうか？今は亡き淀川先生のコメントが鮮明に心に残ります。
昨年テロにより破壊されましたニューヨーク貿易センタービル屋上でのダンスシーンも今思い起こすと何とも感慨深いものがあります。人に知られていない作品ですが私が映画を見始めるきっかけとなった作品を一人でも多くの方に見て頂きたいと願います。ちなみ!!にこの作品はもともとオフブロードウエイでロングランを続けたロックミュージカルの映画版です。

A snippet of time. The film made in the 70’ with a seventies version of 60’s hippies. There are some great views of the twin towers.
As with many film adaptations of plays, I the effort to take advantage of the media the essence of the play can get lost. Sure the songs are there but the filler is just that. The play as seen in its many incarnations is inspiring and makes one want to read the gospel of St. Mathew. However this version takes great effort to get through. Also based on the book “The Feast of Fools: A Theological Essay on Festivity and Fantasy”.
Still this is the only recording we have to remember a play a time and a message. And the song “Day by Day” pretty much expresses the reason for the play and the reason to be part of the larger play.
