"Godspell" to Get Broadway's Blessing

Producer Ken Davenport (Altar Boyz) announced today his plans to revive Godspell on Broadway. He is currently raising funds for the production, and intends to open it on one of the smaller Broadway musical theatre stages for the 2010-11 season.

The 1971 Stephen Schwartz musical was supposed to arrive on Broadway in 2006, with a different producer, but funding fell short. Daniel Goldstein, who was slated to direct that production, has been tapped to direct the upcoming revival.
