I wasn't particularly attracted to Godspell back in the beginning, and I didn't make any effort to see it (neither stage nor film) for years. When I finally started paying it some attention, I still didn't really warm to it except for some of the music.
Wasn't it kind of like Coke and Pepsi, or Beatles and Stones, with Godspell and Superstar back in the early days? I ignored that one, too, initially, but pretty quickly became a JCS person.
