Author: Adrian Edwards
After the dismissive treatment that the revival of Hair received from the critics last September, it would be nice to write in support of the rock musical genre that it spawned for a decade and more. Broadway's Godspell was one of the most popular of them, starting out in London at Camden's Round House and then transferring to Wyndham's for most of a three-year run. Alas, it too now parades a succession of songs of distinctly faded charm, despite the strong advocacy of certain members of this specially mounted cast. Although blessedly free from the pretentiousness that was a hallmark of this type of musical, the rock format locked in its rhythmic strait-jacket soon becomes as burdensome for the listener as it must for the performer. This record does, however, continue to affirm Jacqueline Dankworth as a singer to be cherished and Paul Manuel, Tony in TER's West Side Story (2/94), as an artist sensitive to a lyric and a phrase. The recording is upfront and clear.'
