[QUOTE="Inkachu, post: 65520271, member: 213354"] I know this thread is OLD, but I still wanted to chime in. I was in "Godspell" a year or two ago. I don't really find the play to be "blasphemous" or anything so melodramatic, but I did think it was just sort of... stupid. It would be one thing to have people dressed as clowns or hippies and still acting relatively adult-like, but the characters in Godspell kind of revert to being like five-year old kids. The songs are catchy and fun, but the scenes in between seem awkward and cheesy. Then you go from being all silly and childish to suddenly screaming and writhing in agony as Jesus is killed... it's just very, very weird to me. It's like, one of those things that people call "artistic" for the sake of wanting to feel "artsy" themselves, when in reality, it's just weird and strange and bizarre, and everyone kinda knows it, but nobody wants to say it. Anywho. On with the discussion! [/QUOTE]
