Horton Grand Theatre (San Diego, CA)
Before he wrote Wicked and Pippin, Stephen Schwartz created Godspell. Based on the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, and featuring a sparkling rock-gospel score, this joyous musical retells the story of Jesus and his disciples through a series of charming, comedic sketches. One of Lamb's Players Theatre's most popular shows, Godspell includes the Top 20 hit "Day By Day."

It is full of energy and music. The message of the play is interesting (if you are of Christian faith then you would understand it even more). BUt generally, I recommend it simply because of the acting and singing...just spectacular.
The show was truly amazing! I enjoyed it from start to finish. The performers were wonderful with great energy. The show was funny and up to date! I would highly recommend this show.
The seats were perfect!
Good acting & singing. Storyline was great. The writer's have an excellent way of adding a modern twist and still getting across the biblical message.
Would have preferred that they seat were a little more centered, but for the Goldstar price, they were good. Row E-J, center stage are probably the best seats in the house.
If you are in the San Diego area, I would recommend that you check it out.
Be aware: Street parking at night in the Gaslamp district is difficult, so prepare to pay about $10 for parking.
Doors open about 20 mins before showtime, so no need to be early.
As one of the other members stated, bring your own snacks and water. The concession stand is overpriced!

Built only in 1986, the Horton Grand Theatre has already had three names. Formerly known as the Hahn Cosmopolitan, and before that, Deane Theatre, it has stuck around through a combination of locally produced shows (it was once the home of the Gaslamp Quarter Theatre Company) and rentals, in particular, the frothy comedy hit "Triple Espresso.'' As of June 2008 it was taken over by Lamb's Player

Before he wrote Wicked, Working, or Pippin, Stephen Schwartz wrote Godspell. Go back another 1,970 years, and you'll find a guy from Galilee who changed the world. Now Lamb's Players returns to one of its most memorable shows of all time with a new multiethnic cast and a sensational band, in a stirring production that incorporates Schwartz's recent musical additions to his now-classic score. Packed with infectious songs like "Bless the Lord," "It's All for the Best," and the beloved anthem "Day by Day," Godspell tells the Greatest Story ever told - in a style that blends commedia, vaudeville, even Saturday Night Live-esque shtick - with music that ranges from cabaret to pop to reggae to show-stopping musical theatre. Godspell is a great time at the theatre - perfect for the whole family.
