Quite possibly the best musical of all time, because it is and REMAINS based on mementum, and it's growing
>what the fuck are you talking about
Epic the Musical is a (duh) musical based on the Odyssey by Homer
The meta behind it is impressive in it's own right, the whole of it is spectacular.
But that's not where it shines. The core of it is that aside from the audio files (audiophiles? :3) its entirely web-based. No one was (on an official level) contracted to produce animatics, and it's all subject to interpretation based on audio.
And so, you find yourself with a melting pot of autists trying to outdo themselves. And it is made better with every stroke.

If you're not into musicals, fuck off. This is a niche-thread, so it won't get much, other than me and other ppl sperging about how OMFG THIS.
There's so many themes to be extrapolated. My preference is "Ruthlessness is Mercy Upon Ourselves". But again, it's the animatic artist reinterpretations that make this a dynamic thing. It continues to evolve, as opposed to previous where the script was written, weeks of rehearsals,...
The game is changing

Let's start with the basics.
Odysseus enters into the "Iliad" as a righteous king. We can parse specifics later, but he's a righteous king.
But he is a king who reigns over a small place under a tyrrannical dictator who IS petty enough to kill all of Odysseus' people.
And so, to war. None of this is desired, this is the result of one man's unchecked pride. And still, all of Ithaca, under their leader goes to war.
And wins. Inconceivably, but under questionable context, the Odyssey is a parable/zen-koan about the nature of responsibility and the consiquences of irresponsibility. Enjoy
