For the past 40 years, GODSPELL's message of community and hope has united people from all over the world. Now, people can take part in that community by sharing their memories at www.MyGodspellMemory.com, a new online community where fans can record videos, watch other fan videos and connect with each other in celebration of the highly-anticipated Broadway revival of GODSPELL.
The website offers a user-friendly platform that allows fans to easily record and upload their personal video memories of the legendary rock musical.

"It's remarkable how many people have such fond and vivid memories of GODSPELL," said producer Ken Davenport.  "For some, it was perhaps the first show they ever saw.  For others, it was the first show they performed in.  And for others, it's something as simple as the beauty of Stephen Schwartz's iconic score that resonates with them.  Now that we're only two weeks away from our first preview performance, we thought, wouldn't it be great if there was a place for all of these fans to connect and share with one another?  So we came up with MyGodspellMemory.com and I'm really looking forward to seeing and hearing what this show has meant to people from all over the world."
 
Directed by Daniel Goldstein and choreographed by Tony Award nominee Christopher Gattelli (South Pacific), GODSPELL begins preview performances at Circle in the Square Theatre (1633 Broadway at 50th Street) on Thursday, October 13, 2011. Opening Night is Monday, November 7 (7 p.m.).

GODSPELL stars an incredible and diverse company of 10 young actors, lead by Hunter Parrish as Jesus and Wallace Smith as Judas, and co-starring Uzo Aduba, Nick Blaemire, Celisse Henderson, Morgan James, Telly Leung, Lindsay Mendez, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle and George Salazar. Understudies are Joaquina Kalukango, Eric Michael Krop, Corey Mach and Julia Mattison.

The revival reunites Daniel Goldstein -- making his Broadway directorial debut -- and members of the design team from his critically-acclaimed 2006 Paper Mill Playhouse conception in a new production that has been completely re-imagined for the Circle in the Square, one of Broadway's most intimate, unique and versatile houses.

Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak with music and new lyrics by Academy and Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin), GODSPELL has continued to electrify audiences throughout the country since its original New York premiere in May 1971.

GODSPELL's Tony-nominated score features instantly recognizable hits including "Day by Day," "Turn Back, O Man," "Learn Your Lessons Well, "Prepare Ye the Way," "Light of the World" and many more.

One of the most popular musicals in the world, GODSPELL originally ran for more than 2,600 performances in New York and spawned successful touring productions in major U.S. cities, a 1973 motion picture adaptation and countless international engagements for the past 40 years.

The new Broadway revival of GODSPELL is produced by Ken Davenport, Hunter Arnold, Broadway Across America, Luigi Caiola, Rose Caiola, Edgar Lansbury, Mike McClernon, The Tolchin Family, Guillermo Wiechers & Juan Torres and The People of Godspell. Associate producers include Dennis Grimaldi Production, Todd Miller, Pivot Entertainment Group, Chris Welch and Cedric Yau.
