Saw Godspell at Wimbledon. Loved the new musical arrangements, and the cast were all fantastic. In fact it was so good that my friends waters broke when Jonathan Wilkes took his bow ! So don't anyone sit in seat K27 in the upper circle, could be a bit wet!!! Baby was born 2 hours later by the way.

Saw Godspell in Wimbledon last night - had a fantastic evening. The cast give it their all. Both Daniel MacPherson and Jonathan Wilkes have a great stage presence - and both are pretty easy on the eye wouldn't you say girls!?! Looking forward to seeing it again sometime soon.

I saw Godspell in Norwich twice and I got to see them both swap roles. Both Daniel and Jonathan have so much charisma and enthusiasm that they just bring the show to life. It was brilliant and I'm hopefully going to see it in Birmingham, and to meet Daniel for the eighth time!!

Saw Godspell in Norwich last week, went twice & saw both Daniel & Jonathan as Jesus/Judas - both excellent, but I liked Daniel best as Jesus. Could watch it over & over again with those guys in the lead roles!! The whole cast was brilliant, putting all their engeries into each performance & the singing was fantastic. Best night(s) out at the theatre for a very long time.

Saw Godspell in Cardiff, Bath and Brighton, I have enjoyed the show everytime and hoping to see it in Wimbledon. I have managed to see both Jonathan and Daniel play both parts, which has been great.

Fantastic! All the cast swop roles, so you never see the same show twice. I really cannot wait to see it again. If you see one musical this year - make it Godspell. Daniel MacPherson & Jonathan Wilkes really bring the characters alive. Brilliant!

Fantastic new production of a show I have loved for many years. Jonathan Wilkes particularly impressive as Jesus and a cast where there were no weak areas.
