'Godspell' coming to Glenbard West

The musical "Godspell," which opened on Broadway in May 1971, will take center stage next month at Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn.

Featuring songs such as "Day by Day," the musical written by Stephen Schwartz centers around a series of lessons learned mainly from the Gospel of Matthew and Luke.

Rather than focusing on the religious aspects of the lessons, Glenbard West's take on the 2012 revival of the critically acclaimed musical will center on the development of a sense of community and friendship in a chaotic and often unfriendly world.

The show will take place through the lens of a Bohemian coffeehouse, with Cameron Young playing the lead role of Jesus.

The curtain will go up at 7:30 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, Nov. 12-14, at the school, 670 Crescent Blvd. Tickets, $10, are available by calling (630) 469-8600 or emailing michael_moran@glenbard.org. Tickets also will be available at the door.

Student directors are Maddie Giffin and Jacob Kelleher.

In addition to Young, the cast features Jack Colombo, Anna Stephan, Celia O'Brien, Caitlin Palmisano, Griffin McDonnell, Ori Harris, Gabi Winter, Briana Hryhorysak, Gaby Evans, Kate Wild, Elly Blevins, Dylan Bockelman, Rafaela Brosnan, Isabelle Cozzi, Brennan Dougherty, Alex Frazer, Felicity Gould, Charlotte Graham, Anna Huibregste, Sarah Kitslaar, Kaitlyn McDonald, Maggie Pasterz, Joey Reilley, Maggie Rohrer, Avery Scott and Geo Smith.
