Carver is also a little shy of star quality as Jesus in the musical Godspell, although his singing voice is sweet and true, his movement is crisp, and his line readings are intelligent.

This highly compact show runs at just over two hours and the dialogue stays crisp as lines are delivered without too many complex movements...
