This week we chat with Carly Quinn about on of the original bible-based musical - Godspell!

The original book has been stuffed fruitcake-full of gags about contemporary figures and current trends. An abbreviated list would include Heidi Klum and Donald Trump, Steve Jobs and Lindsay Lohan, and even the inventor of the Shake Weight, whoever he or she may be. There are jokes about Facebook, naturally, and Occupy Wall Street, inevitably. (“Wicked” too: I guess even that megahit musical, also featuring a score by Mr. Schwartz and playing right next door, could benefit from some product placement.) How the marital foibles of Kim Kardashian managed to escape the frenzy of name-checking I cannot conceive. - By Charles Isherwood
