Beautiful City Is a Beautiful Song

Rate: 1 Flag
This week, actor Hunter Parrish who plays Jesus in the Broadway revival of Godspell appeared on Good Day New York and performed "Beautiful City." It's one of my wife's favorite songs from the musical, and I confess I'm hooked on it too. 

Here's the video. And here's the URL if you can't see the embedded video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXezjFLTl-c&feature=player_embedded



You can read my review of Godspell by clicking here and check out the show yourself if you have the chance, or you can purchase the full original cast recording from Amazon or some other place. You'll probably do what we do and just play "Beautiful City" in a loop over and over again.

Nick, I remember Godspell from college days, a long time ago. I will be in NY most of the summer, worth seeing as the clip is awesome, I used to have the music. Thanks!
This is a link with Hunter Parrish singing it and with the words. The lyrics mean so much to me...it is our life.

After all they do not call is Godspell for nothing.

Nick, this song is gobsmackingly gorgeous.

I remember Godspell but not this song. In my mind while I was listening, were images of firemen and rescue workers Sept. 11 2001.
Both the lyrics and the melody are powerful. And Hunter Parrish does a great job with it.
