Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden) and it took the world by storm.

A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

Charleston!

Musical Theatre Show

BOOK BY TIM KELLY
MUSIC AND LYRICS BY BILL FRANCOEUR

Directed by Nathan Rutups 

It’s the vibrant 1920s, complete with Ziegfeld girls, raccoon coats, ukuleles, goldfish swallowers, and gangsters!  Polly Pepper, a young flapper, is about to turn 18 years old and will then inherit an extraordinary diamond necklace.  She is planning a wacky birthday party and is inviting all her friends.  Buck Wayne, Polly’s new boyfriend, wouldn’t miss the birthday celebration for anything, even if he has to land his private plane on the lawn of the polo grounds.  But watch out, trouble’s in the air!  Mobsters are about! 

Take a step back into the Roaring Twenties! Join Perform Australia’s Thrive Students as they present Charleston!
