Yikes. This show is not going on Broadway anytime soon.
Preface, I am a huge Hercules fan and this was my first time at Pappermill so I was very excited going into this.
Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. Let’s just start by saying, the new songs need A LOT of work. None of the songs moved the plot forward, nor memorable (if anything, it slowed the show down). There was some mic issues, flubbed lines, and a brief 10 minu

Most Broadway shows are programmed but the Public does live captioning. If you ever sit near the sound booth, you can see someone "typing" the captions with a script on a music stand.

The idea of having a big beautiful chorus number at the end of an act is not a new cliche. It is commonly seen in operas and it’s called a finaletto.

Also, Jonathan Larson and Lin Manuel Miranda’s works are greatly influenced by Sondheim so we see finalettos in many of their shows/films. They’re a great tool to summarize conflict(s) before intermission/end of the ac
