Fringe Musical  2003

Home

Godspell
The University of Gloucestershire
If ever there is a musical that is done to death Fringe after Fringe then Godspell probably has to take that 'honour'. However in the fifteen or so years I have been attending this festival I cannot think of a version that even gets close to the quality of this one. Superb is the only word that can describe it.
The 16 strong cast from the University of Gloucestershire could all sing and dance well, the simple set was versatile and the sound quality excellent. Unfortunately, the show I saw had no programme available so I am unable to highlight the stars, but perhaps that is just as well as all sixteen were stars.
Okay it was less high- tec than a recent touring production I saw staring Jonathan Wilkes and Daniel McPherson, but the enjoyment factor and enthusiasm and talent on display was at least it's equal if not better.
