You Had to Be There: How the Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love & Overalls, and Created a Community That Changed the World
An intimate, funny, and emotional documentary about the legendary Canadian production that changed entertainment forever. The 1972 Toronto production of the musical about the life of Jesus starred a then-unknown cast of Martin Short, Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Dave Thomas, and Victor Garber, et al, with Paul Shaffer serving as musical director – a crazy confluence of talent rivaling “Paris in the 20s.”
