When I was recording ShowTunes a couple of weeks ago, I was surprised to find yet another musical based on the Bible! Admittedly the Bible isn't short of well-known and loved stories, so I'd thought I'd try to find out quite how many musicals are actually based on the Holy book... Here's what I've found so far:
1. The Book Of Mormon
2. Children of Eden
3. Godspell
4. Jesus Christ Superstar
5. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
6. Joseph: King of Dreams
7. King David
8. The Prince of Egypt
9. The Ten Commandments: The Musical
10. Southampton Passion
11. Two By Two
12. The Young Messiah
