GODSPELL will be performed by the Kahilu Theatre Youth Troupe at the Kahilu Theatre on Friday, June 19 at 7 p.m., Saturday, June 20 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 21 at 4 p.m.
A group of vagabound teens and young adults will spread messages of kindness as they sprawl across the urban, graffiti-covered New York City set singing hit songs like “Day by Day,” “Oh Bless the Lord,” and “Light of the World.” Jesus, Judas and John the Baptist, characters among the cast, will reenact parables through games, storytelling, dance and physical comedy.
The story of Jesus’s life will dance across the stage as the musical combines an eclectic blend of songs that range from rock, to pop, blues and vaudeville.
The musical is written by Steven Schwart, the composer of Pippin and Wicked.
