Ken Davenport will produce the 2011 revival. No official announcement about the production has been made.

Godspell features a score by Schwartz and a book by Tebelak. Based on The Gospel According to St. Matthew, the musical, press notes state, uses "improvisation and contemporary themes to illustrate the parables, [bringing] these lessons to life through the grand tradition of musical theatre."
