My earbuds are twisted so I've been listening to this with my right ear. Interesting thing: Untangling them and trying to listen to it with my left ear just taught me that people have a dominant ear, because it sounds a lot better in my right ear despite being the same earbud.

David Haskell left us way too soon. Godspell is never the same without him. I knew him in the role in the original Cherry Lane play, the road show and the movie. I have never seen this performance till 2024...I am so blessed for modern technology. Thank you!

Man, I can watch this over and over, I'm playing Jesus tomorrow in my school production!

You're lucky you can have religion in school! Must not be a public school.

My last two brain cells

After a lifetime of adoring Godspell (and doing it in High School like half the world), I just found out TODAY that Mr. Nathan (Exec. Producer of Bones, a show which I enjoy) is THE Stephen Nathan that played Jesus in the original Godspell! God knows that that recording (as well as the movie version w/Victor Garber as Jesus) played a major part in my developmentr when I was a teen ager in the 70's and as an actor later on in life. Way to go Stephen!

I love this, i'm so sad that David passed away in 2000 :(

Rest In Peace David Haskell

How young David Haskell is! God rest his talented soul.

For those who like musicals and have a sharp eye, Stephen Nathan also played the Courier in the film version of "1776". He sang "Momma Look Sharp."

Indeed, were it not for scoring the role of the Courier, he was the first choice for the role of Jesus in the film of Godspell, whose shooting schedule coincided with that of 1776. (Might be misremembering that, but I seem to have heard that a long time ago.)

"Momma Look Sharp" is one of my favs from 1776. It points out that underneath all of the political so socio-economics about the arguments for or against Independence, men and boys are dying, and it's the mothers who have to go find them.

Amen Sarah! I did too. Played the Courier at age 18 in a regional production near SF. But I never had the opportunity to play Jesus. :^(

@@Woody615 yup. agreed. Powerful song.

Just got chills . So great performing these guys in NYC.. It was All for the Best!

I discovered this song because Gaten Matarazzo and Joshua Colley were singing this. And it was the best!

I was casted as Judas about a week ago, and this by far is my favorite. This version is amazing, and personally this version is better than the movie. I'm hoping our choreography is exactly like this one!

My older brother (an aspiring actor at the time) took me to see Godspell in 1974, when Jeremy Sage was playing Jesus. Memorable show!

Like this a lot - and props to both for singing so fast while also doing rigorous dance moves and twirling canes. David Haskell is amazing, although perhaps I prefer Victor Garber's portrayal of Jesus a bit more.

Agree. Haskell and Garber had good chemistry.

There needs to be another movie of this. At least a Broadway revival.

Yes indeed. Lucky Londoners who got to see him w/ David Essex!

Thank you for this! I’ve seen the movie with Victor Garber a lot, but I’ve always wanted to get a look at Stephen Nathan doing it! I listen to both the original cast and movie soundtracks a lot!

I remember seeing this on TV. The show is available on video as "That's Singing: Best of Broadway." It had Ethel Merman, the original cast of "Grease," it was just a great show. :)

LOVE IT

No one does it better than these two :D

that was so good

There is a time difference between this video and the movie. The movie was made 1973 This video is from much later. Another comment says the clip iis from a 1985 special called "The Best of Broadway"

From the hairstyles it looks like the eighties, David Haskell looks different without his beard from the film.

We had to learn and sing this for a school music competition when I was 11. It was hard to learn and sing, and the judge said he couldn't hear the words very well because it was so fast. I never knew where the song had come from until I saw this. Even with these pros performing it's not always easy to hear what the words are!

@nonyabusiness2510

absolutely. You have to have a keen ear. But they sing it faster the second time. The similar approach with the Major General song in Pirates of Penzance. When they really pick up the tempo you've already heard the lyrics once so it's not as much work understanding. However you have to have incredible diction and breath control to pull it off.

i already have! it was way fun! but it was also hard

Same...i really like our All for the best and we have a female as Judas and i personally think she does it a lot better

SO want to do this number... it looks like a lot of fun.

@rcktmanil Yay! This is just such a fun show.

first time seeing this 1-4-22

I did a imdb search on him.

I love the orchestration like it sounds so much better than the og lol

My left ear hurts

im gonna be judas in my show choir xP

costumes by my colleague Susan Tsu!

I mean I know Judas doesn't have the best songs to sing but it's an amazing part. I don't mind if I get it or not but it would be awesome. X's

I love this clip. The closed captions, however, are insane! Did an "AI" generate the captions. Gee the song lyrics are online you could just cut and paste.

What the heck happens at 0:41? Nathan comes in with the accompaniment, but drops a beat after singing "deep blue", yet is still with the accompaniment for "You bet that Job". That beat was apparently missing from the accompaniment (which seems prerecorded) and Nathan knew this and compensated for it. Weird.

Thank you for posting! What a treat. Do you know the broadcast details on this performance?

Where is the ukulele that Stephen is supposed to play?

Does anyone know of other "Vaudeville/Musical Hall" songs like this? Thanks :)

Oh wow! This is awesome!

I liked Victor Garber much better too!

kenya we are doing godspell hureeey GODSPELL IN AFRICA FIRST GODSPELL IN AFRICA KENYA...

eight or nine years ago I was casted like Judas!!!!!!

I see Jesus got to wear an actual Superman shirt this time

Aww thats ok. Thanks for replying ^_^

@momofdougie What do you mean "some words arn't (sic) even in the real song"? I have the Original Off-Broadway Cast CD of this show and they sung the same words. Are you talking about how they skip over the last chorus where the entire cast joins them?

snazzy outfits

what are those stick thingys and how do they pop em?? im assuming that they are extending things right?? where can i get one i must have it!!

yes, your ten so you know better than everyone else on this page, good analogy i think, how about u 1 stop being jealous that they can sing better than you, and ok stephen said "when you go to heaven" instead of "when you get to heaven" that is the only line where those words were not used in the entire movie, and yes, they skipped the dialogue at the end, it doesn't matter, it was a commemoration, not the movie, so stop complaining and deal with it
