Producer Ken Davenport is pleased to announce that the 40th Anniversary production and first-ever Broadway revival of Stephen Schwartz´s landmark rock musical GODSPELL is scheduled to begin preview performances on Thursday, October 13, 2011 at Broadway´s Circle in the Square Theatre (1633 Broadway at 50th Street).

Directed by Daniel Goldstein and choreographed by Tony Award nominee Christopher Gattelli (SOUTH PACIFIC), Opening Night is Monday, November 7 (7 p.m.).
 
GODSPELL reunites Daniel Goldstein - making his Broadway directorial debut - and the designers of their critically-acclaimed 2006 Paper Mill Playhouse conception in a new production that has been completely re-imagined for the Circle in the Square, one of Broadway´s most intimate, unique and versatile houses.
 
GODSPELL features scenic design by David Korins (PASSING STRANGE, Bridge and Tunnel), costume design by Miranda Hoffman (Well), lighting design by Ben Stanton (Angels in America) and orchestrations by Michael Holland (Hurricane).  
 
Conceived and originally directed by John-Michael Tebelak, with music and new lyrics by Academy and Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (WICKED, PIPPIN), GODSPELL has continued to electrify audiences throughout the country since its original New York premiere in May 1971.
 
GODSPELL´s Tony-nominated score features instantly recognizable hits including "Day by Day", "Turn Back, O Man", "Learn Your Lessons Well", "Prepare the Way", "Light of the World" and many more.
 
One of the most popular musicals in the world, GODSPELL originally ran for more than 2.600 performances in New York and spawned successful touring productions in major U.S. cities, a 1973 motion picture adaptation and countless international engagements for the past 40 years.

On April 2011 London´s Union Theatre presented an acclaimed production of GODSPELL directed by Michael Strassen with a cast leaded by Billy Cullum, Madalena Alberto and Davis Brooks.
 
The new Broadway revival of GODSPELL is produced by Ken Davenport and The People of Godspell. Complete casting will be announced soon.
