Did you alter anything to pull, because like you're saying, it's a few things that were, but It really, how you viewed it as opposed to other, the people that had the power to make it be.
Michael FranksHOST
27:36
Well, I didn't really, until I got to Don Scardino at Playwrights Horizons, I didn't really get a sense from anybody, even though they were all positive.
Michael FranksHOST
27:48
That is great.
Michael FranksHOST
27:49
You're going to make a record out of that? Very jazzy, isn't it? And so I didn't really get any, you know, encouragement to think of it in any particular way at all.

There were a few times when,
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
33:06
you know, we'd be in the rehearsal room,
Michael FranksHOST
33:07
and Don Scardino came in for some of them too, because he knew the world, you know,

33:13
like...
Alonso DuraldeHOST
26:48
You know, Dave Thomas came in later, you know, and he obviously also becomes part of the backbone of like the whole Second City SCTV crew.
Alonso DuraldeHOST
26:56
I didn't realize Don Scardino took over as Jesus after Victor Garber left.
Alonso DuraldeHOST
27:01
And I know Don Scardino as the last victim in Cruising.
Alonso DuraldeHOST
27:05
But he also pops up in stuff like Squirm and now is like this very successful TV director.
Alonso DuraldeHOST
27:11
Did like a ton of 30 Rock episodes and stuff.
DanaHOST
14:26
that featured some absolute titans of comedy.
DanaHOST
14:30
And I think if you are a fan of comedy in general and like the history of comedy, the cast included Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Paul Schaefer, who went on to be David Letterman's band leader, Don Scardino, who's an incredible director, Andrea Martin, Victor Garber, Jane Eastwood, Gilda Radner, Dave Thomas, and Rudy Webb.
DanaHOST
14:47
And it features interviews with a bunch of other comedy aficionados, folks like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mike Myers, Janine Garofalo.
DanaHOST
14:53
So I knew absolutely nothing about this production of Godspell.
Adam SchartoffHOST
1:47
And so on this episode, we're gonna have a reunion.
Adam SchartoffHOST
1:50
I have the director, Don Scardino, and I also have those two actors, Michael O'Keefe and Elizabeth A. Davis, and, uh, they're gonna talk about, I don't know, the film and everything else.
Adam SchartoffHOST
2:03
It is, the film is finally having its New York City theatrical coming up tonight, starts tonight.
Adam SchartoffHOST

And in fact, uh, there'll be a filmmaker Q&A opening, uh, tonight at the 7:10 PM show at the Village East Cinema with Michael O'Keefe and Elizabeth A. Davis in attendance.
Adam SchartoffHOST
2:25
So get down there if you hear this in time, or support this independent drama.
Adam SchartoffHOST
2:31
It has, uh, a comedy drama.
Adam SchartoffHOST
2:32
It has, um, a lot of great m- original music in there written by Elizabeth, written by Don Scardino, and, uh, s- even a little bit from Michael O'Keefe.
Adam SchartoffHOST
2:42
We'll talk about that in the second part.
Gilbert GottfriedHOST
17:05
We're
Frank SantopadreHOST
17:06
only missing Don Scardino.
Greg EviganGUEST
17:07
I was going to say, you better get Donny Scardino in there.
Greg EviganGUEST
17:10
Yeah.
Jim StormGUEST
17:01
And I was intimidated beyond belief.
Jim StormGUEST
17:03

17:10
He works with me, along with me in the play.
Jim StormGUEST

Nick DavisGUEST
36:56
So how can a documentary film like this one ever hope to capture the spirit of the 1972 Toronto Godspell? Yeah.
Nick DavisGUEST
37:05
Is this just a dumb idea,

In addition to that, other lesser known performers, Jane Eastwood and Don Scardino, who was later a director, did a lot of comedy stuff.
