About the Show

The Gallery Players present the 1970s folk-rock musical, a series of Christian parables and the story of Jesus.

The musical, based on the Gospel of Matthew, with music by Stephen Schwartz, features a Tony-nominated score filled with the popular hits 'Day By Day,' 'Learn Your Lessons Well' and 'Turn Back, O Man.' Jesus Christ recruits a group of followers and teaches them various lessons through song and dance. Toward the end of the second act, the show begins to follow a more linear narrative as Jesus is betrayed by Judas and eventually crucified.

Delightful, Entertaining, Great acting, Indulgent, Dated

See it if If you want to revisit the 60s approach to the musical. Quirky. Surprises. Good characters. Recognizable music. An open set.

Don't see it if You might be offended by a rather insensitive anti-Semitic line, which in my opinion should be pulled. It dampens an otherwise fun time.
