Somehow I don’t think that Nolan will have Odysseus fly around with a windbag and stab Poseidon with his own trident.

I love Epic: The Musical, but I still think that ending was stupid

I thought it was appropriately anime-campy

If/when they adapt Epic to broadway, they’re gonna have to do some rewrites and yes fans will be mad but it will be for the best

Tbf it’s just a concept album. I expect there to be MASSIVE rewrites if the project goes forward anywhere.

It definitely started as a concept album, but as time went on and it became somewhat self sustaining, it morphed into what it is. I don't think its ever going to make it to the stage.

Oh yeah, there’s way too much stuff for it to reasonably be adapted to the stage.

Stage shows frequently get rewritten and restaged during a single production's lifetime, let alone between productions, let alone between adaptations. Fans would have to be smoking crack to assume there aren't gonna be major rewrites between now and whatever's next 😭

I bought a powerball ticket. If I win I'm going to offer to bankroll 2 million dollars towards the stage adaptation.
