There was a big lost opportunity for “Alias” to make a musical episode and I’m sad it was never considered

There was a weird trend in the late 1950s-1970s where they added narration to silent films to make them more palatable to audiences who had only experienced talkies 🤢

@MatthewTitus88 “Godspell”’s not technically a “Sung-Through” musical but tbh it’s not far from it

While “Godspell” (1973) featured members of both the 1971 Original Off-Broadway and Toronto casts only Robin Lamont reprised her role from both. She would later be a part of the 1976 Broadway cast, as well.

There doesn’t seem to be any other similarities other than being set in NYC and the musical contributions of Stephen Schwartz but “Godspell” (1973) and “The Wiz” (1978) always have very similar vibes to me

1973 was a weirdly big year for movie musicals about Jesus as both “Godspell” and “Jesus Christ Superstar”were released within months of each other

If I were to watch a religious-themed film on Easter, it’s this one; the music is really quite good. Some of the basic teachings of Jesus shown here would be lost on MAGA “Christians.”

Lyrics for today:

Oh dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day
