Prepare Ye the Way of la Meme Chose

God, I am SO SICK of productions of Godspell with the same old tired trope of male Jesus and Judas. The show is about the Gospel of St. Matthew with mixed genders apostles dressed as clowns, invoking every current pop reference out there--you'd think SOMEONE besides me would've thought of actually casting a woman as something other than adoring groupie. BORING.

The show is over 30 years old. At some point, it has to be public domain, right?

It takes a lot longer than that to enter the Public Domain--for one thing, I think all the authors have to die first, and then it's like 50 years.
