Broadway’s first-ever revival of the legendary rock musical GODSPELL will play its final performance at the Circle in the Square Theatre on Sunday, June 24, 2012.

GODSPELL began its Broadway run on October 13, 2011 and officially opened on November 7, 2011. At the time of its closing, it will have played 30 preview performances and 264 regular performances.

“I’ve never been more proud of a show than I am of GODSPELL,” said lead producer Ken Davenport. “For nine months this incredible company of performers brought joy into the hearts of more than 153,000 people (and blasted them with over 1,000 pounds of confetti) … forever changing their lives, and mine as well. 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.”

Due to overwhelming response, on Thursday, June 14, Broadway’s hit revival of the legendary rock musical GODSPELL will host asecond “Fan Appreciation Day” event.

The first “Fan Appreciation Day” (set for Friday, June 8 ) received more than 1,000 online RSVPs from fans, which prompted producers to arrange this second event for Thursday, June 14 at 6 p.m.

The June 14 “Fan Appreciation Day” is an exclusive pre-show party with GODSPELL cast members, including free pizza — courtesy of Famous Amadeus Pizza — and soda, cast performances, door prizes and more, immediately before the evening performance.

Producer Ken Davenport said: “GODSPELL has the greatest fans in the world. Period. And my mom taught me that it’s important to say thank you to the people that support you.

“So we thought why not open our theater, and some pizza boxes, and kick off the summer by thanking the people that make performing GODSPELL eight times a week so special … the fans.”

Tune in on June 10th to catch the cast of GODSPELL perform live on the 2012 Tony Awards.

Following an incredible afternoon of open-call auditions for kids last month in which more than 500 kids (ages six to 16) were seen, the creative and producing team of GODSPELL selected five boys and five girls (plus one “swing”) to perform a special encore number at the curtain call on Tuesday, May 22.

“GODSPELL has always had a tradition of launching the next generation of stars,” said Ken Davenport.  ”From the cast members of the original productions like Martin Short, Victor Garber, Andrea Martin, Jeremy Irons and so on, to the cast members of our current production who I have no doubt you’ll be hearing a lot from in the years to come.  So we decided, why not get a preview of tomorrow’s Broadway stars?”

On Thursday, May 17, celebrate all the good gifts of Broadway’s hit revival of Stephen Schwartz‘s legendary rock musical GODSPELL with two exclusives!

First, GODSPELL is pleased to announce that for one performance only, audiences can take advantage of “Pay-Your-Age Night.”

Starting at 5 p.m. that day, a limited number of tickets will be available at the Circle in the Square Box Office (1633 Broadway at 50th St.). The ticket price: your age.

GODSPELL producer Ken Davenport said:

“Whenever I talk to fellow producers about the future of the theater, I hear one thing: ‘We need to get more young people to the theater!’  And whenever I talk to theatergoers, I hear, ‘Theater tickets are so expensive!’

“So, I thought, what if we could do something that could combat both issues at the same time?  And Pay-Your-Age Night was born.

“Broadway economics are such that it wouldn’t be feasible for us or any show to do this year round.  But, in order to encourage more young people to come to the theater, and in order to encourage more parents to bring their children to the theater, for one night, we certainly can.”

Customers must present a valid form of government or school ID to verify proof of age. One ID will be required for every Pay-Your-Age ticket purchased.

Also that evening, GODSPELL‘s new leading man, “High School Musical” and In the Heights star Corbin Bleu will stay for an intimate and exclusive post-show talkback and audience Q&A, hosted by Julie James of Sirius XM Radio’s “On Broadway” channel.

Producer Ken Davenport is pleased to present the “future stars of Broadway,” a group of 10 talented young performers who are set to perform onstage at Circle in the Square Theatre on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 as “The GODSPELL Cast of 2032!”

Following an incredible afternoon of open-call auditions for kids last month in which more than 500 kids (ages six to 16) were seen, the creative and producing team of GODSPELL selected five boys and five girls (plus one “swing”) to perform a special encore number at the curtain call on Tuesday, May 22.
