Here’s what the critics are saying:
From the LA Times:
“Maria Lee incinerates the aisles with “Turn Back, O Man.’”
From StageHappenings.com:
“Maria Lee, the token sex kitten proves she’s quick on her heels with hysterical improvisation and provides a stunning Pieta tableau, blending the virgin and the whore archetypes in a singular and unforgettable image.”
“Rejoice and be glad! The Knightsbridge Theatre resurrects the greatest story ever told – taken mainly from the gospel of St. Matthew – in this beloved musical revitalized with a fresh cast and a whole lot of attitude that will bring even secular audiences rising to their feet like holy rollers in a disco ball glittering revival.”
“Cynics be damned as this production, feverishly directed by Chuck McCollum, squelches any of the uncomfortable preachy underpinnings from the usual ragtag, glazy-eyed converts and replaces it with a dynamic, universal energy that entreats th audience to clap and sing along.”
From LA Weekly:
“Maria Lee gives a vampish turn to ‘Turn Back, O Man…’”
From EyeSpyLA.com:
“Each of the cast members gets a moment to shine…Maria Lee works the room with a sultry dance…”
“Godspell is a musical extravaganza. It’s a big production for a small theatre, but it works due to the talent and exuberant cast of cute young actors.”
