StudioTheater presents “Godspell” (in Spanish) at the Acropolis Center. The Dominican version of the long running Broadway show will be performed at the Acropolis theater starting 4 May 2018. This is a production by José Rafael Reyes and Joyce Roy, starring Javier Grullón. The show is a revival of a first presentation that was made of the show six years ago with much success.
Godspell is a musical, composed by Stephen Schwartz that opened off Broadway in New York City on May 17, 1971, and has played in various touring companies and revivals many times since. One of the play’s songs, “Day by Day” reached #13 on the Billboard pop singles chart in the summer of 1972. The musical is based on the Gospel of Matthew with parables interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns.
In addition to Javier Grullón, who plays the role of Jesus, others are Vladimir Rodríguez, Karla Fatule, Alejandro Espino, Claudia González, Jared Gómez, Laura Guzmán, Carolina Jiménez, Mavel Paulino, Natacha Hernández and Rafael Pepén.
Godspell will be showing on Friday and Saturdays from 8pm and Sundays at 6pm. Tickets are for sale at the Studio Theater box office on the second floor of Acropolis Center, and online at Ticket Express.
