Alex is joined by Jeffrey Scott Parsons to talk about the 1985 Philadelphia (Pre-Broadway) Cast Album of The Gospel at Colonus. Who knew a Sophocles play and a Black Pentecostal church service were such a perfect match?
Music by Bob Telson, lyrics, book, & direction by Lee Breuer, based on Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus as translated by Robert Fitzgerald.
