Featuring interviews with the surviving cast members, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mike Myers, and more, the film recounts a pivotal moment in comedy history, in hilarious, moving, and inspiring detail. *“Exuberant and essential… The niftiness of Davis’s film is that it’s about Godspell, and it’s about something bigger than Godspell — a pop movement that didn’t have a name yet, a cultural spirit that found its way into existence almost like (laughing) gas gathering in the air.”* *– *Variety *“A delightful romp down memory lane that takes surprising twists and turns.”* *– *Deadline *“The most incredible thing about *You Had to Be There* is that this film makes you feel like you were there, and these friends are your friends too.”* *– *Mashable
