'Godspell' maintains its spirit, energy at Olney Theatre Center

Olney Theatre Center's laid-back "Godspell" courts its audience with an open-heartedness and intimacy that earns big affection in return. The show's rock/pop retelling of The Gospel According to St. Matthew, with songs by Stephen Schwartz of "Wicked" and "Pippin" fame, remains genially critic-proof decades after its 1970s debut.
