it is the latest and greatest show
playing at the Alhambra Theatre and
dining it's called
Godspell it is an upbeat musical that
provides the parables of Jesus told in a
little modern-day tone so to talk about
it the cast is here looking great
looking colorful I want to start with
Kalia and Timothy both of you guys
coming on and I want to start with you
first of all you're miss Jacksonville
and the Miss America Organization how do
you get involved with God's Bell my
director for Miss Jacksonville she
encouraged me after my performance at
Miss Florida I did um do a musical
theater number I miss Florida for talent
and she encouraged me to get involved in
the theater I'm I don't know if you're
aware but it's the oldest operating
dinner theater in the country it's kind
of writes like an integral part of the
community so she's like you know what go
to an audition and I did and I ended up
with these wonderful people right here
or having a fantastic time I'm just kind
of spreading the musical joy to every
person in Jacksonville thus far should
come to the show though it seems like
you guys really get along and you have
so much more of fun it's not just a job
to you we do and I think that's a very
important part especially in a show like
this which is so ensemble based a lot of
its just based on interacting and ad-lib
and improvising so the better we get
along as people the better the show is
gonna be overall okay so Godspell
originated in 1971 off-broadway and then
that's around the same time as Jesus
Christ Superstar right yeah let's let's
explain here what's the difference I
would say that God's ball itself focuses
more on Jesus's parables and it's just
telling them in a fun and interesting
way and it's not as much about the
doctrine as it is about teaching you to
just be a good person overall what have
you learned through the experience oh I
mean this is my second professional show
I did actually perform an elf at the
Alhambra last season it was a fantastic
show and I think I've just really
learned to open myself up to other
people to my cast mates of the community
gospel is actually a really
family-oriented show an audience of all
ages can enjoy it and it's just kind of
being a part of a story that's bigger
than myself I think I've really grown
from that mm-hmm and you learn a little
bit too
absolutely you learn about these
parables and things that can relate to
real life so that's a clip right there
and certainly they want you to come out
see them live in person go up to them
before after the show say hey we saw you
on the morning show
because Godspell runs a February the
10th that's the last day so now through
February the 10th that is at the
Alhambra Theatre and dining right there
on Beach Boulevard and now without
further ado the cast is going to
serenade us with one of their parables
