My demanding schedule made my decision to audition for Godspell one of the most challenging, but not even a packed schedule could stop me from participating in this awesome production. It’s entertaining, comical at times, but mostly very serious. This play is more than the laughs we will receive… it’s more about the hearts that we will touch. It’s invaluable that the Godspell message resonate in the hearts of viewers. My favorite song in the production is “By my side.” I believe through song and characterization we bring alive the intimate, yet intricate parts of the crucifixion. Don’t just take my word for it, come see it!
I am having a blast being a part of this dynamic show. Godspell’s message of community is relatable to everyone. I’m confident anyone seeing this show will laugh, cry, smile, think, and be inspired by the story because we’ve experienced every emotion imaginable during rehearsals. My favorite part of the show is the music because the song styles vary greatly and are challenging. If I had to pick a favorite, I’d give it to “Bless the Lord” because it’s catchy, energetic, and pure joy. Godspell has truly been a unique experience, and I am so thankful to be a part of this family of actors. It’s astounding how quickly we’ve bonded, and I’m confident that the audience will feel the love.
My name is Schylar Danford-Berry and I am so excited to be a part of Godspell. I never really knew a lot about Godspell, but I fell in love with the music instantly and especially felt a real connection to Day By Day which I am so honored to be able to sing. It has been such incredible thing to be surrounded by so many talented and creative minds and having everyone create something together. This show is very unique. I have loved this journey of finding special moments on stage with my cast and becoming a family, not just on stage, but in life as well. This is an experience I will not forget.

I’ve had the privilege of choreographing this show and working with an amazing cast. They have all worked very hard, and I can’t wait to see this show come together and be able to share it with our audience!
Eddie is delighted to be a part of this wonderful production. The show of Godspell has such a great message of love, community, and family and will definitely leave people, in his opinion, feeling inspired. What Eddie loves the most about this show is how close, supportive, and connected the cast has become, and he enjoys coming to rehearsals every night seeing and working along side such wonderful and talented people.
The cast and staff had an epiphany of sorts last night during rehearsal. We are faced with the reality that we are a part of something so wonderful and so profound that we got all quite emotional. Godspell feeds all the senses. We have two weeks to polish and tweak before sharing the message with our audiences. You will laugh. You will cry. You will be moved. Get your tickets now!

I listened to the music from the 2012 Broadway revival cast several months ago and knew I had to audition. I’m so lucky to be in a cast so packed with talent. I can promise you haven’t seen anything like this production at Strauss, and you won’t want to miss it!
I first listened to Godspell when I started doing musical theatre at the age of 11. Six years later, it remains my all time favorite show. A powerful and fun story about love and unity told through the Biblical parables we’ve grown up with, it truly is a show that the whole family can enjoy and learn from. One of the most captivating aspects of the show for me is the music. It conveys so much emotion, ranging from joyful to completely solemn. My song “Bless the Lord” celebrates the love of Christ and what he’s done for us, and I hope the audience is able to feel the same energy that the moment exudes. It really is something special, and I’m excited to finally bring to life the show that made me fall in love with the world of theatre.
