Godspell

This is a musical theater show that is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and takes a lot of its text directly from the Bible. It is not worshipful in the reverent manner to which you may be accustomed, but it is joyful and sincere. The disciples of Jesus are portrayed as children, wildly imperfect in their understanding but wanting to follow Him. The song “Day by Day” captures this beautifully. In the end, Jesus charges the disciples to build Zion in the song “Beautiful City”.  I imagine this musical could be disrespectful if it was produced by a non-Christian. But if approached with faith, it can be a wonderful discussion starter and worthwhile entertainment option.
