O knihe

The Off-Broadway hit musical Godspell emerged as a worldwide cultural
phenomenon in 1972 when, just over a year after its award-winning emergence
on stages around the world and with the Top Twenty Billboard hit "Day by
Day," Columbia Pictures decided to film and release it on the silver screen
across the globe. In the process, it created cinematic history for its use of
locations around New York City (including the then-unfinished World Trade
Center) and, at the same time, accomplished the nearly-impossible by
taking a small stage show, one that had been originally created as a college
thesis, and unleashing it upon a world of moviegoers who have since continued
to embrace it as one of the greatest musical hits of all time, as well as a
celebrated Easter special and a score that will live forever.

In All for the Best: How Godspell Transferred From Stage to Screen, film
historian Andrew Martin has captured every step of the show's journey,
from school play to an indelible part of modern culture, and depicts in glowing
detail all the highs...and lows...of a production that will always live on in
the hearts and minds of all who watch and enjoy. Featuring interviews
with composer Stephen Schwartz, producer Edgar Lansbury and star Victor
Garber besides all of the film's surviving co-stars and key players from the
creative team, this impossible-to-put-down story of "the little show that
could" is certain to bewitch the reader from the very first sentence.

"Andrew Martin's book brings back many treasured memories of
productions of Godspell--the opening night at the Cherry Lane
Theatre in New York City, the opening performance in London,
and finally the premiere of the film at the Lincoln Center
Film Festival. This book tells the amazing story of Godspell
in a factual and entertaining way."
- Angela Lansbury
