Always a Joy, Feb 7 2007
This review is from: Godspell (Audio CD)
I absoletly wore out the 12" record I had of this when I was a kid, and I still enjoy it. It fails to capture the raw simplicity of the stage recordings but also avoids the various flaws that each of them has. All of the vocal performances are excellent, especially Victor Garber as Jesus and Lynn Thigpen in 'Bless the Lord'

Excellent CD!, July 3 2004
This review is from: Godspell (Audio CD)
Everyone must own this CD. I dont enjoy the movie, but I did enjoy the songs. Stephen Schwartz must be a geinus, and it shows here, and in his Current "Wicked". The song that is worth the price of the Cd is the tuneful "All For The Best". I will probally wear the CD out before I have listened to that enough.
The performances are top notch. I have never listened to the Broadway Cast Recording, but if it is better than this,(which I doubt), I will gladly buy it. The late, great, Lynne Thigpen is wonderful. Victor Garber (SWEENEY TODD, TITANIC)is great as the good sheperd. Get this recording if you like gospel music, good music, or just plain uplifting music.

This rocks!, Mar 15 2004
This review is from: Godspell (Audio CD)
I'm just 14 years old, and I fell in love with the play at school. The way I always am,when I fall in love with a play (ex.Grease,guys and dolls) I search every thing on it. So I got this sound track and I have not stopped playing it since I got it. My favorite songs are Day by Day, Beautiful city,and Bless the lord. I'd definetly get this soundtrack.
