''[[Godspell]]'' is a musical rendition of [[The Bible|the Christian Gospel]] -- primarily the book of Matthew but also some selections from Luke and one from John -- with a contemporary soundtrack and aesthetic. It was created by John-Michael Tebelak, who wrote it as his master's thesis at Carnegie Mellon University, but after its (successful) debut, its producers hired an up-and-coming composer named [[Stephen Schwartz]] to rework the music. It was Schwartz' second break-out success (after ''[[Pippin]]'', which he worked on alongside [[Bob Fosse]]), winning him two Grammys and paving the way for further successes, such as some of the [[DreamWorks]] cartoons, the movie ''[[Enchanted]]'', and the musical ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]''.
