Author Introduction

Godspell, released in 1973, is the film adaptation of the Off-Broadway musical Godspell created by John-Michael Tebelak.
Set in modern New York City, the film stars Victor Garber as Jesus and David Haskell as John the Baptist/Judas. John-Michael Tebelak is credited as co-writer of the screenplay and served as the creative consultant, although director David Greene said Tebelak did not write the screenplay.

The song Beautiful City was written for and first included in the film, while the songs Learn Your Lessons Well and We Beseech Thee were left out.Vocally, the chorus is very much in the same style, but solo parts are, at times, more lyrical, notably in All Good Gifts where Lamont Alford had used a dramatic tenor voice, Jackson uses a lighter voice and falsetto for the high ornament which creates a joyous effect.
