One of my traditions during Holy Week is to listen to the "Godspell" soundtrack. Over and over. And to sing right along with all the parts. I find it a wonderful way to get into the groove of the week.
I absolutely love the play, have seen it many times (see list below), and one of my life-long dreams is to be in a production of it. Oh, how I love the "Godspell". The play, that is. The movie is pretty horrible!
Let's see how my memory is for play attendance:
Renton Civic Theater
Taproot Theater (with Jesus as a Hispanic pizza delivery person in NY)
Vancouver, WA
Yakima, WA
Pentacle Theater (I think?)
Renton Civic Theater (again, but possibly the worst production of them all - all the actors spoke WAY too fast. I had a hard time following, and I practically have the play memorized. This was my poor hubby's first exposure to the play, and I'm not sure I could talk him into going again.)

1st time I saw "Godspell" was in Vancouver with you, Jill.
Saw it twice at Pentacle here in Salem. Once with you, once as a Volunteer. Saw it again in Lake Oswego. So I guess that makes it 4 for me. Like you, I would travel miles to see it. What a great play!
I too am a fan and have seen it at least 3 times. And unfortunately I am the one to blame for inviting J&D to the latest production in Renton... though I think I caught a few more words than everyone else. But always glad to have a fellow Godspell fan in Jill!
