Godspell

Easter Feature: Robin Lamont of ‘Godspell’ on Dancing at the Top of the World Trade Center

Godspell WTC

CHICAGO – One of the better film treats of Easter weekend is “Godspell” (1973), the hippie musical based on the Bible gospels in the book of Matthew. Featuring Victor Garber as Jesus, the film is set in New York City of the early 1970s, at the same time the World Trade Center was nearly complete. The producers had a great idea … why not film a dance number on the top of the North Tower?
