By Andrew Gans
August 19, 2008
The Broadway revival of Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak's Godspell, which was scheduled to co-star "American Idol" finalist Diana DeGarmo and Tony nominee Gavin Creel, has been postponed.
Producer Adam Epstein said in an Aug. 19 statement, "I am devastated that, due to the loss of a major investor in the harsh reality of a slowing economy, there were no other options at this time than to postpone. I could not in good conscience move forward without full confidence that the capitalization was in place and that all of those employed by the production could be responsibly taken care of. . . Even in light of the situation, my passion for this vibrant production is unwavering and it is my goal to regroup as soon as possible."
