In the stage production I saw in Boston (featuring Ted Neely and Carl Anderson), Jesus, on the cross, said the line and then was lifted up towards heaven (the rafters) as the curtain dropped. I am not an emotional guy, and I had to fight back tears. My girlfriend (now my wife) wept openly, and so did several other people in the audience.

That would have been cool.

You know what always makes me cry? It's the scene in Godspell where everyone is taking off their makeup during the last supper. I'm tearing up over that one even now.

It must have been so hard to say goodbye to Him. I really don't know how the disciples were able to stand the heartbreak.

Shalom.

You know, I've never seen Godspell even though I know some of the songs: your wife is crying, sighing, and your olive tree is dying. Temples are graying and teeth are decaying and credit is weighing your purse.

Is there a vid of it?

Me, too. I took my son to see a very good production of Godspell a year-plus ago in NoCal - it was updated very nicely. The "Long Live God/Prepare Ye" ending ALWAYS makes me cry.
