title="Jesus">Jesus</a>, declaring his supremacy: "My name is Known: God and King. I am most in majesty, in whom no beginning may be and no end." ("Opening (Monologue)"). The cast then enters and takes the roles of various <a href="/wiki/Philosopher" class="mw-redirect" title="Philosopher">philosophers</a> who sing their philosophies, first alone, then in cacophonous <a href="/wiki/Counterpoint" title="Counterpoint">counterpoint</a> ("Prologue: Tower of Babble"). </p><p>In response, <a href="/wiki/John_the_Baptist" title="John the Baptist">John the Baptist</a> enters blowing a <a href="/wiki/Shofar" title="Shofar">shofar</a> to call the community to order. He then beckons them to "Prepare Ye, The Way of the Lord!" and baptizes the cast ("Prepare Ye"). John gives a short sermon, as <a href="/wiki/Jesus" title="Jesus">Jesus</a> watches quietly. Jesus then announces his presence and says that he also wishes to be baptized. John instead asks to be baptized by Jesus. Jesus explains that "We do well now to conform with all that God requires" and is baptized by John. The cast enters and sings with Jesus ("Save the People"). </p><p>In his first <a href="/wiki/Parable" title="Parable">parable</a>, Jesus explains that he has come "not to abolish the law and the prophets, but to complete." Jesus explains to the cast that those who adhere to the law of God will earn the highest place in the Kingdom of Heaven. He tells them the parable of <a href="/wiki/Parable_of_the_Unjust_Judge" title="Parable of the Unjust Judge">the Widow and the Judge</a>, demonstrating that God is a just jurist who will support those who cry out to him. </p><p>The cast begins to understand Jesus' teachings and take it upon themselves to tell the story of the <a href="/wiki/Pharisee_and_the_Publican" title="Pharisee and the Publican">Pharisee and the Publican</a> praying in the temple: "Every man who humbles himself shall be exalted!" </p><p>As Jesus teaches the law of the offering gifts at the altar, the cast makes offerings of themselves. They are taught that to approach God's altar, they must be pure of heart and soul. They then act out the <a href="/wiki/Parable_of_the_Unforgiving_Servant" title="Parable of the Unforgiving Servant">Parable of the Unforgiving Servant</a> a story of a master and a servant who owes him a debt. The servant asks his master for pity in repaying the debt, and the master absolves it. The servant then turns to a fellow servant who "owed him a few dollars" and demands that it be paid in full. The master, hearing this, then condemns the servant to prison. Jesus explains the moral: "Forgive your brothers from your heart." The character telling the parable sings "Day by Day", and the cast joins in. After the song, Jesus teaches that if one part of you offends God, it is better to lose it than to have the whole of the body thrown into hell. </p><p>The cast then plays <a href="/wiki/Charades" title="Charades">charades</a> to finish several statements posed by Jesus, including "If a man sues you for your shirt..." and "If a man asks you to go one mile with him...." The cast then performs the <a href="/wiki/Parable_of_the_Good_Samaritan" title="Parable of the Good Samaritan">Parable of the Good Samaritan</a> as a <a href="/wiki/Play_Within_a_Play" class="mw-redirect" title="Play Within a Play">play-within-a-play</a>. Jesus explains the need to "love your enemies" and "not make a show of religion before men". He says: "God will reward a good deed done in secret" ("Shhh! It's a secret!"). </p><p>The cast then performs the parable of <a href="/wiki/Lazarus_and_Dives" class="mw-redirect" title="Lazarus and Dives">Lazarus</a> and the rich man. On earth, the rich man feasts, and Lazarus begs and is ignored. Upon dying, Lazarus is rewarded with Heaven, while the rich man is in Hell. The audience is told to "Learn Your Lessons Well" or be faced with eternal damnation. When the rich man asks Abraham if he would send Lazarus back from the dead to warn his brothers of their impending doom, Abraham tells him no: "If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone should rise from the dead." </p><p>Jesus teaches that no man can serve two masters (God and money). A member of the cast tells a story of a man who spent a lifetime acquiring the good things in life, then dies before he has the time to enjoy them. This character sings "Bless the Lord," then Jesus tells the cast not to worry about tomorrow: "Tomorrow will take care of itself. Today has problems of its own." </p><p>In an <a href="/wiki/Antiphon" title="Antiphon">antiphonic</a> chorus, the cast recites the <a href="/wiki/Beatitudes" title="Beatitudes">Beatitudes</a>. Judas directs the final beatitude regarding persecution at Jesus, and Jesus quickly changes the subject ("Did I ever tell you that I used to read feet?"). However, Jesus then persuades the cast that it is "All for the Best" and heaven contains the ultimate reward as Jesus and Judas do a <a href="/wiki/Soft_shoe" class="mw-redirect" title="Soft shoe">soft shoe</a> together. </p><p>This is followed by the <a href="/wiki/Parable_of_the_Sower" title="Parable of the Sower">parable of the Sower of the Seeds</a>, which Jesus tells them represent the Word of God ("All Good Gifts"). </p><p>By this point in the musical, the group has transformed from a rag-tag cast, into a community of love and caring and now march as soldiers in the military, signifying their ability to think as one. With Jesus as the drill sergeant, they perform the <a href="/wiki/Parable_of_the_Prodigal_Son" title="Parable of the Prodigal Son">Parable of the Prodigal Son</a>. The cast sings "Light of the World" about Christ's Light and how it shines in each person. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Intermission">Intermission</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Godspell&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Intermission"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Jesus thanks the audience for coming and announces a 10-minute <a href="/wiki/Intermission" title="Intermission">intermission</a>. </p><p>There is audience interaction during intermission. In the original production, the cast joined the audience for wine and bread. In the 2011 Broadway revival, the audience was offered wine on the stage. </p><p>The second act then opens with one or more cast members singing "Learn Your Lessons Well", calling the audience back to their seats. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Act_II">Act II</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Godspell&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Act II"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>After the reprise of "Learn Your Lessons Well", a member of the cast sings "Turn Back, O Man", imploring mankind to give up its temporal pursuits and turn to God. Jesus then says: "This is the beginning." </p><p>Several members of the cast then begin to question Jesus's authority, and he responds with yet another parable. He is asked, "What is the greatest commandment?" and responds, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul... And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'" The <a href="/wiki/Pharisees" title="Pharisees">Pharisees</a> continue to question him, and he laments "Alas for You" and calls them hypocrites. Members of the cast gather, join in Jesus' song, and throw garbage at the Pharisees. </p><p>Jesus predicts that he will not be seen for quite a while, while standing at the "<a href="/wiki/Western_Wall" title="Western Wall">Wailing Wall</a>", and predicts great wars and famines. He reminds the cast and audience of the time of <a href="/wiki/Noah" title="Noah">Noah</a> and teaches that faith can calm the storm. The cast is told: "Keep awake, then. For the <a href="/wiki/Son_of_Man" class="mw-redirect" title="Son of Man">Son of Man</a> will come at a time when you least expect it." </p><p>One woman in the cast is shunned as an <a href="/wiki/Adultery" title="Adultery">adulteress</a>. Jesus says: "Let the one of you who is faultless cast the first stone." Her accusers then bow their heads and walk away. Jesus walks over to her and asks: "Woman... where are they now? Has no one condemned you?" The woman answers: "No one, sir." He tells her: "Then nor shall I. You may go, but do not sin again." As she watches Jesus walk from her, she entreats him to remain "By My Side". During this song, Judas foretells his upcoming betrayal of Jesus. </p><p>In one of the lighter moments in the second act, Jesus tells how he will separate men as a shepherd separates his flock into <a href="/wiki/Domestic_sheep" class="mw-redirect" title="Domestic sheep">sheep</a> and <a href="/wiki/Goat" title="Goat">goats</a>. The sheep will enter heaven while the goats must suffer eternal damnation. "We Beseech Thee" cry the goats, begging for mercy. </p><p>After the song, the cast reminds each other to take things "Day by Day", as they remove their clown makeup, face paint, or object. They assemble for the <a href="/wiki/Last_Supper" title="Last Supper">Last Supper</a> and Jesus tells them that one of them will betray him. Each member of the cast asks, "Is it I?" ending with Judas: "Rabbi... can you mean me?" Jesus tells him to do quickly what he must do and Judas runs off. Jesus breaks the bread and shares the wine, while saying the traditional Hebrew <a href="/wiki/Passover_Seder" title="Passover Seder">Seder</a> blessings. He tells his followers that they will dine together in the Kingdom of Heaven. The band sings "On the Willows", which is about what has been sacrificed. In the song, Jesus blesses each member of the cast. He asks that they wait for him as he goes into the <a href="/wiki/Gethsemane" title="Gethsemane">Garden of Gethsemane</a> to pray. </p><p>In the garden, Jesus implores God to let the burden be lifted from his shoulders if there is another way. Jesus returns to his followers to find them all asleep. He begs them to stay awake, but they all fall asleep again and Jesus warns them they will all betray him three times (a reference to the apostle <a href="/wiki/Peter_(apostle)" class="mw-redirect" title="Peter (apostle)">Peter</a>). Jesus then prays to God that if his death cannot pass him by, then His will must be done. He is then tempted by <a href="/wiki/Satan" title="Satan">Satan</a> (usually played by the apostles), but orders him away. </p><p>Judas returns to betray Jesus, but has a moment where he cannot bring himself to do it. He tries to leave but finds himself boxed in by invisible walls, except for one path which leads to Jesus. Jesus encourages Judas to do what he has come to do, and Judas grabs Jesus to bring him to be <a href="/wiki/Crucifixion" title="Crucifixion">crucified</a>. The community starts to attack Judas, while Jesus tells them to stop, as all who live by the sword will one day die by it. Judas (usually alone, as a representation of the others arresting Jesus) ties Jesus upon an electric fence (representative of the cross) as Jesus berates him for arresting him at night, but then says that it had to happen to fulfill the prophets' writings. </p><p>The "Finale" begins, loud and in B-minor, with Jesus wailing, "Oh, God, I'm bleeding," and the community answers: "Oh, God, You're bleeding." Jesus dies and the music ends. The women of the cast sing "Long Live God", and the men join in with "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord" in counterpoint. The cast removes Jesus from the fence and carries him out, either offstage or through the aisles. The cast then finishes with a reprise of "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ending_interpretation">Ending interpretation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Godspell&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Ending interpretation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Similar to criticism of the 1970 rock opera <i><a href="/wiki/Jesus_Christ_Superstar" title="Jesus Christ Superstar">Jesus Christ Superstar</a></i> there is controversy over there being no obvious allusion to the <a href="/wiki/Resurrection_of_Jesus" title="Resurrection of Jesus">Resurrection of Jesus</a> in the show.

This criticism notably mirrors similar criticism leveled at the 1970 rock opera <i><a href="/wiki/Jesus_Christ_Superstar" title="Jesus Christ Superstar">Jesus Christ Superstar</a></i> which also did not depict the resurrection. Rather than be resurrected, Jesus dies in the "Finale", and the cast is typically directed to lift his body over their heads and walk off through the audience to end the show. Schwartz has made a note of this in the script, saying: </p> <blockquote><p>Over the years, there has been comment from some about the lack of an apparent Resurrection in the show. Some choose to view the curtain call, in which JESUS appears, as symbolic of the resurrection; others point to the moment when the cast raise JESUS above their heads. While either view is valid, both miss the point. GODSPELL is about the formation of a community which carries on JESUS' teachings after he has gone. In other words, it is the effect JESUS has on the OTHERS which is the story of the show, not whether or not he himself is resurrected. Therefore, it is very important at the end of the show that it be clear that the OTHERS have come through the violence and pain of the crucifixion sequence and leave with a joyful determination to carry on the ideas and feelings they have learned during the course of the show.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Though <i>Godspell</i> was a successful production, much like <i>Jesus Christ Superstar</i>, that began to break down the barriers between rock and roll and Christianity, it was regarded with suspicion by the mainstream evangelical culture because it disregarded the religious doctrines of resurrection and atonement.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Awards_and_nominations">Awards and nominations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Godspell&action=edit&section=36" title="Edit section: Awards and nominations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Original_Broadway_production">Original Broadway production</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Godspell&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: Original Broadway production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable" width="95%"> <tbody><tr> <th width="5%">Year </th> <th width="25%">Award ceremony </th> <th width="40%">Category </th> <th width="20%">Nominee </th> <th width="10%">Result </th></tr> <tr> <td>1977 </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Tony_Award" class="mw-redirect" title="Tony Award">Tony Award</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Tony_Award_for_Best_Original_Score" title="Tony Award for Best Original Score">Best Original Score</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Stephen_Schwartz_(composer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Stephen Schwartz (composer)">Stephen Schwartz</a> </td> <td style="background: #FFE3E3;
