Action of the rock-musical, Godspell Wlth m msPlrin8 Pr- Based on the scriptures of St. Matthew, Godspell was written h t. i Tebelak, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. by John-Mael Directed by E. Mike Dobbhis, the success of Godspell can be attributed to the cast's unlimited enthusiasm. Their vitality in song and dance was a contagious pleasure Coherence of the ensemble provokes qualms as I cite exceptional performances, how--ever 1 think they are justified. v Dave Landis offers a vibrant portrayal of the contemporary Christ figure. Always a strong vocalist, Landis s Save the People," injected the first volts of current into this electric and energetic show. Jill Eiche, the comic comrade, consistently induced laughter throughout the musical A burlesque approach to "Turn Back, 0 Man," was beyond reproach. Melodee Landis is comically, dramatically and musically dynamic. The highly-spirited theme of Godspell was dominated as she delivered "Bless the Lord" in tent-revival style. Occasionally, director Dobbins has been considered a controversial figure in theater The only question concerning his Godspell effort is how many times to see it. Godspell is a rarity. Seldom do you find such enthusiastic and talented actors couples with a successful script and musical score. Together they produce a show youH long remember. 7-bernstein on words Don't say ex for et By Theodore M. Bernstein Nix on ex-, A common mispronuncia tion is ex cetera for et cetera. The term is of Latin origin: et, meaning and, plus cetera, meaning other (things). If you have et, keep away from ex. And there's some food for thought for you. like so. Often we hear sentences such as, Vou do it like so" What Leonard Stein of Philadelphia would like to know is whether that is just idiomatic or is incorrect. It's a. borderline case, which is best set down as idiomatic of colloquial. If someone said, "You do it like this," no question at all would arise. But the words "like so" mean like or as in a certain manner. The two words have virtually the same sense and, indeed, the "like" could be dropped with out altering the meaning or the correctness of the construction. On the other hand, in the sentence, "You do it like this," the "like" could not be omitted. Let's say simply that the careful writer or speaker would not use the "like so" version.
