Godspell was sort of like a tamed down Jesus Christ Superstar. It was performed widely in the 70s in HS drama producitons (even in Utah, I believe). Many mormons in Utah found it very irreverent and I seem to recall some leaders counseling against even seeing it, let alone perfroming it (as they did when the JC Superstar album came out). By today's standards, it is not so bad, although it does treat Jesus' story without miracles and without the resurrection (this is from memory; it has been a long time since I saw it). The song Day by Day comes from this production. There was also a film in the 70s that you might be able to get on netflix to help you decide.
If it was my daughter, I would probably allow her to particiapte after discussing the issues with her.
(I would liek to point out that this post may show there are some advantages ot having old guys around)
