First, the acting was simply exceptional. Casting such a large cast took away from the feel of the show, also since from time to time many actors would have an “out of character” blank stare on their face.

The actors’ vocals were good but didn’t have any charisma or enthusiasm behind the their voices most of the time. The only song that was stood out was Bless the Lord sung by Ivanna.

The choreography, by Margie (also the director), was simple, which can be good, but also very elementary and after various repetition of the same step, boring.

A lot of the directorial decisions were not in favor of the show. The cast seemed to simply recite the scripted parts of the show when performing the parables when clearly it states in the script by John Michael Tabelak that the cast is to work as an ensemble to take the general idea out of each parable and improvise to make it their own, using the casts special talents, and so on. This was obviously missed in the show, taking away from the concept of Tebelak’s writing. Next, decisions such as blowing bubbles and having a bubble machine during a serious and climatic song, such as “By My Side”, took away from the mood of the scene.

The lights were actually done well. Sound was good most of the time. The set accommodated the show very well and the “rising flowers” at the end of the show were really well done. Costuming was average, nothing special, but it defiantly did fit and work out.

Nonetheless, the show did have a select few performers who knew what they were doing and were actually talented but unfortunately, the rest of the cast overshadowed them.

Overall, the show seemed to drag and made most the audience restless. Unless you have family members or friends in it to support, I don’t recommend seeing Godspell at Act III.
