Show: The Untold Myth of Medusa, The Musical; Part 1
Venue: The Southern Theater
Decent Enough
This was a retelling of the first portion of Ovid's Medusa- though using the Greek names- and besides the filler love interest plot, really didn't add anything new or a fresh perspective to the story. I think one of the bigger struggles was the portrayal of the gods- Are they powerful forces beholden only to each other, or just like any of us humans? The show leaned towards the latter, and I think suffered for it as it made them too comedic in contrast to what happens to Medusa. I am always impressed by original music, and thought the songs were well done, and well sung- The actor playing Poseidon had a particularly strong voice. Overall, it had some potential but just didn't quite live up to it.
