I dont know what GarryT had to say but, I saw the opening night of Godspell and it was fantastic. It had the usual techinical hitches that almost spoilt the entire performance, but Adam Webb (director) has once again been able to assemble a fine cast that could out perform Mr Blizzar I'm sure.I remember seeing this show when it was first performed all those years ago and anyone else of my ilk will remember the great rythms of the 70's. I dont usually agree with changing the script but this one really does benefit from a face lift.I wont single out any cast members because I think they all did a fine job but i will say this the underlying message was delivered with sincerity and grace which makes the show more of a religious experience than a bit of musical theatre.So go see it, take the family, it finishes early, you will home in bed by 10:30, its fun, energetic, charasmatic and very funny. Even if you dont believe in God or our Lord Jesus Christ you will enjoy this show.Kristine Lockwood

Kristine's comments on the technical qualities of this production - or the lack of quality - echo some of my earlier personal concerns about Prompt Corner.What a shame the efforts of Adam and his cast appear to have not been supported in the manner that they might have been by the producing company.CheersGrant
