«The Gospel at Colonus» is the album of the eponymous musical recorded by the original Broadway cast, released in 1988 by Nonesuch on CD.
Score and text that bring Sophocles' tragedy to gospel: Lee Breuer writes the adaptation, Bob Telson the music, and the gospel choir takes over from the classical chorus. Hymns, sermons and vocal solos unfold the story of Oedipus, from exile to his welcome in Colonus.
Recording by the original Broadway cast, on a single disc. Its style combines gospel, soul and stage music.
For those who enjoy gospel, musical theatre and contemporary reworkings of the Greek classics.
