I'm looking to produce Godspell at my school. Here's my dilemma. MTI does not handle the rights in Cananda, Theatre Maximus does and they only have liscense rights to the full version, not the Jr. The Jr. version is the only one that comes with the accompaniment CD, which I need because my school does not have a band or a competent piano teacher, (I think Godspell needs some rocking guitar solos anyways). I found a Godspell karoke CD online, which I'm more than willing to use, but it doesn't have the Finale on it. I'm waiting to solve this dilemma before I pitch it to my principal and vice principal.

I did manage to one up MTI. I requested a perusal copy of Godspell Jr. and it was sent to me in error before someone could catch it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a copy of the entire Jr. Karaoke cd, including the Finale, if you'd like it. Would that work?

The Jr version has strange cuts and different keys. Some of the tunes would be hard to use in a full Godspell. When pocket songs first released their karaoke Godspell, it contained all the songs (minus babble). The later edition cut out Turn back and Finale. The orginal version is the one to find because it uses the backing tracks from the TER/Jay London studio cast recording from the early 90's with Stephen Schwartz on piano.
