Sedos presents GODSPELL, ?by Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak
3-13 April 2013, Bridewell Theatre

WE ARE THE COMMUNITY ?
WE ARE THE 99%?
WE ARE THE CHILDREN

When two childhood friends meet through a chance reunion an old plan is rekindled and a movement born. Their manifesto is simple: LOVE! On the steps of St Paul’s they gather around them a bunch of renegades from the ever-eclectic city and rediscover the magical power of stories long forgotten from childhood. By none other than creativity and song this mismatched community brings colour to the dead streets of London and, day by day, attempts to build a beautiful city.

But when tensions awaken amongst the leadership, questions are asked which could split the community apart. Are the people we loved as children still the people we know today or has destiny led us down separate paths?

Some children grow up and destroy the world…?
…some children grow up and save it!??

Conceived and originally directed by the late John-Michael Tebelak with music and new lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Prince of Egypt), Sedos’s radical new production of Godspell comes to the Bridewell Theatre this Easter from 3-13 April.

Godspell is a fun-filled family show which will draw out the inner child in even the most hardened of adult hearts.

This production of Godspell embraces the themes of the community to become as fair, sustainable and ecologically friendly as possible.

Super cute guy holding the cardboard sign! But how does God figure into the concept of this production?
