This modern-day version of the Gospels opens with John the Baptist calling a disparate group of young New Yorkers from their workplaces to follow and learn from Jesus. They form a roving acting troupe that acts out the parables through song and dance, comedy, and mime. Jesus's Crucifixion is in a junkyard, followed by his body being carried through the streets of New York. High spirited music accompanies the song and dance, including the hit songs “Day By Day” and “Colors of the Wind.” Dance routines filmed among the busy streets of New York City are exhilarating --this hit musical is great for the whole family.
