Godspell 50th anniversary concert comes to the West End Musical Drive In for a live screening spectacular
Following the success of its recent 50th anniversary online concert, the Godspell celebration will continue with an exciting one-off screening and performances from the cast at the West End Musical Drive In on Sunday 4 October.
Stephen Schwartz’s acclaimed musical tells a series of parables leading up to the Passion of Christ. The screening is directed by Michael Strassen and includes visuals filmed from the cast’s homes, edited together with striking animations. On-screen performances can be seen by Jerome Bell, Ronald Brian, Darren Day, Natalie Green, Ruthie Henshall, Ria Jones, Shekinah McFarlane, Jenna Russell, Sam Tutty, Lucy Williamson and an ensemble from Italia Conti.
In addition, the event will also feature live performances on stage from other cast members: John Barr, Matthew Croke, Jenny Fitzpatrick, Alison Jiear, Danyl Johnson, Jodie Steele and Sally Ann Triplett.
Producer of West End Musical Drive In, Chris Steward, said: “This incredible work drives home a message of hope and community at a time when it has never been more important. We are proud to partner with Ginger Quiff Media to enable audiences to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Godspell and experience live theatre during these unprecedented times.”
Thomas Hopkins of Ginger Quiff Media said: “We are thrilled to be able to share this wonderful concert once again, in a new form with stunning live performances. The online concert managed to raise an incredible £13,638, which will be split across three wonderful charities: Hope Mill Theatre (A Factory of Creativity CIO), Acting For Others, and National AIDS Trust. A percentage of the profits from this event will also be donated to these charities.”
