Ken Davenport, the lead producer of Godspell, wrote this note on his blog:
“I just left the Circle in the Square Theatre moments ago, where with a very heavy heart I told the cast and crew that Godspell will play its final performance on Sunday, June 24th. While we certainly had hoped our show would run for years and years, we’re all very proud of the beautiful city we built.
Over the last nine months, our sensational cast has spread the joy of Godspell to over 153,000 people (and blasted them with over 1,000 pounds of confetti). And while this production of Godspell may not be at Circle in the Square past the 24th of June, it will be in our hearts and the hearts of everyone who saw it forever.
There are 15 more chances for you to celebrate the joy of Godspell with our incredible cast. And because you’ve followed this story from the beginning, I’m making some great seats available to you for as low as $50.

Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. It has changed my life.”
