I loved that original-cast recording with a passion my mother must have found to be equally disturbing and entertaining. If you played it for me today I could probably still sing along to all the songs. Ian Gillan (sp?) from Deep Purple sang a great Jesus, but yeah, Murray Head's voice was an amazing thing. So cool - sounds like you had a great time last night! (We were at Pink Martini with, I think, half the city - my fb feed has been coming up pictures of the Bowl all day!)
I never could get into the movie - too Bible-story in its visuals, and the voices were entirely wrong to my ears. I didn't get Godspell at all, I gotta say!
