2019 - Godspell

Prelude

We endeavour to preserve and share the rich tapestry of our theatrical history, illuminating each production with the reverence it deserves. Yet, as committees evolve and time marches on, some treasured details have, alas, slipped through the cracks and vanished into the ether.

Do you possess a fond recollection, a backstage anecdote, or a cherished program tucked away in a drawer? If so, we would be delighted to hear from you. Your memories are the lifeblood of our legacy, and we warmly invite you to contribute to the ongoing story of Launceston Musical Society.

About

Launceston Musical Society proudly presented Godspell—a jubilant and soul-stirring musical that reimagined the Gospel of Matthew through a vibrant blend of song, storytelling, and theatrical artistry. With music by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin) and a book by John-Michael Tebelak, Godspell burst onto the stage with energy, heart, and a message of love and community.

Set in a contemporary landscape, the production invited audiences to witness the teachings of Jesus brought to life by a spirited ensemble, weaving together parables with humour, emotion, and unforgettable melodies. A celebration of faith, friendship, and the power of storytelling, Godspell delivered an uplifting theatrical experience for all.
