Answer 1

There was a movie made from the play as well.  The film opens with youthful city dwellers from various walks of life dropping their activities to follow John the Baptist (David Haskell from the original New York production). They sing ("Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord") as he leads them into a fountain where they are (metaphorically) baptized. There they meet Jesus (Victor Garber). Frizzy hair and mime makeup aside, the handsome young Garber (Titanic, Annie) is convincing in his film debut. Once baptized, they follow him around various scenic New York locations, singing and acting out passages from the Scriptures.

This was made after the play, and it is really good.  It is a musical.  Godspell Jr is for kids, it is a young people version.  Here is a link that talks more about it.

Awesome show and music! :)

Answer 3

Go to MTI's website and then go to the Broadway JR. section. Click on 'audition central' and then select Godspell. It doesn't really have a lead female.

Answer 4

Godspell Jr. is the children's version of the play Godspell, which is the gospel of Mark set to music. With a 60's spin to it.
