YOU HAD TO BE THERE

How the Toronto Godspell Ignited the Comedy Revolution, Spread Love & Overalls, and Created Community That Changed the World (In a Canadian Kind of Way).

Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Victor Garber, Paul Shaffer, and other entertainment icons got their start in a 1972 Toronto production of the musical Godspell. Featuring interviews with the surviving cast members, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mike Myers, and more, the film recounts a pivotal moment in comedy history, in hilarious, moving, and inspiring detail. Executive produced by Judd Apatow.

"Exuberant and essential … The niftiness of Davis’s film is that it’s about Godspell, and it’s about something bigger than Godspell -- a pop movement that didn’t have a name yet, a cultural spirit that found its way into existence almost like (laughing) gas gathering in the air.”
