So, I've never gotten into Godspell. My music teacher had us watch the movie one day but I'm ashamed to admit I had no idea what was going on and didn't really pay attention by the time it reached the credits. (Or maybe we didn't even reach the credits- I think school ended....) But, WTF. Godspell was supposed to open but it's CANCELLED.
Someone showed me this article: http://www.nypost.com/seven/08142008/entertainment/theater/there_is_no_godspell_124382.htm
"The recession is here," a veteran producer said yesterday. "The good times are over."
THAT'S HEAVY STUFF.
It's a little sad. I know Josh Henry left In the Heights to do Godspell. I don't know what he's doing now. I don't even know how all of that works. I mean, he can't get back into ITH, can he? I believe they already have a replacement. I don't know how these things work. But I really feel bad for everyone involved with Godspell. It took me forever to just get a job at the mall so I KNOW, as actors, they're really struggling. I read somewhere that only 1% of actors (Equity actors maybe? I forget) are hired in professional jobs. Something like that. Don't quote me because clearly I cannot remember the details.
And, I mean, the whole damn world is in financial turmoil. The rich people, the poor people... I hate it. Damn.
Broadway can't even save me now.

only 3% of all equity actors have jobs just thought i would clarify it for you. :)
Why, thank you! I was too lazy to look it up. <3
