An original Australian Daybill poster for the 1973 release of “Godspell”

An American musical comedy-drama film, an adaptation of the 1971 Off-Broadway musical Godspell (in turn based on the Gospel of Matthew), created by John-Michael Tebelak with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Directed by David Greene with stars Victor Garber as Jesus and David Haskell as Judas/John the Baptist.

At the behest of John the Baptist, young men and women forsake their jobs and take up the mantle of Jesus Christ - becoming his disciples - in a musical retelling of the Gospel of Matthew set in modern-day New York City. Using song and dance, the apostles traverse the city, spreading Christ's message of love and tolerance as the time moves ever closer to his betrayal at the hands of Judas and ultimately, his crucifixion.

"All the excitement, the glamour, the tenderness, the music of the greatest entertainment of our time."
