Event Information

You Had to Be There

Carol M. Johnson Theater (T1)

Tuesday, Sep 29, 2026 4:15 PM

PLEASE NOTE! This screening is presented with Open Captions.

The 1972 Toronto production of the musical Godspell featured an eye-popping cast of future comedy titans: Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Gilda Radner, Dave Thomas—with Victor Garber as a hippie Jesus and Paul Shaffer as musical director. YOU HAD TO BE THERE features interviews with all surviving members, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mike Myers, and more, hilariously recounting a production that changed the course of comedy in North America. A New York Times Critic's Pick!
