Music reviews of Godspell (2001 National Touring Cast)Music Review: I just don't get itWith all the talk about this being an updated, more contemporary version I guess I was expecting more or at least something much, much different. I'm not sure what year it was supposed to be updated to, but to me it just sounds like they took it from 1970's folk rock to 1970's amped rock by adding more instruments and going from acoustic to electric. And at most times it doesn't feel different enough. At other time it feels so forced and exaggerated to me that it just feels overly campy now - almost disrespectful to the original cast recording. The original had such an innocent sincerity to it. I don't exactly hate this updated version, I just don't get it and have to ask "why bother?". To me they just didn't succeed in what they set out to do and what they are being credited at having done - updating it to something new and fresh. Maybe seeing it on stage is what I'm missing - my Mom took me to see the original in NY for my birthday when I was a kid in the 70s - it was my first Broadway show. Since seeing it in NY, I've been to many H.S. productions and always love the new updated interpretations keeping the music pretty much the same. I have to wonder if the elder Schwartz being involved with this project had something to do with the fact that this feels so constrained to the original. I don't fault him for that, I love the original. I guess I was planning on really hating this, but instead I'm just indifferent.
