Godspell is one of the few musicals that its first cast helped create. The new book, god's mantra experience: a story from a transformative musical, reveals the full backstory. An actor who plays a role in a new musical may help create the character, but most people use written scripts. Godspell's cast, on the other hand, is rehearsing fables and biblical phrases from the show's creator and director, john-Michael Tebelak. Methods of dealing with materials are essentially improvised processes. Under Tebelak's direction, they turned the spiritual curriculum into a stylized musical. Whether they're clowning, coming up with the "three idiots" response, or finding other ways to convey ideas, this was largely invented during rehearsals.
