It's a modernized take on the Greek tragedy of Orpheus and Eurydice
I'd imagine that most of his involvement was probably getting the show on Broadway in the first place. I doubt he was actually involved in the creative process.
Honestly, it should be on Disney+. Hamilton being on the service was a genius move.
I agree, more broadways musicals and stage shows would be great to be added to the service. I imagine disney probably already has internal recordings of some of their movie to musical adaptations.
Oh I know. The show's been in the works for years and he didn't seem to come on until it already had left London. So I suppose "thanks" are in order for helping get the show to B'way, but it was a done deal regardless of his involvement.
Yeah, it would've happened either way. Cliffy likely just made it easier.
Yeah, they've been working on the show for years, long before he got involved.
First premiered in 2006, and while I'm sure it's changed plenty from its original incarnation, by 2018 its been finalized for some time now and the only thing left to do was bring the show stateside.
I'm on my phone right now, so I can't go through all of them. The one example can be seen in Chant (Reprise), where Persephone's part was axed to focus on Hades & Orpheus. They were even changes between the actual live Broadway performance in the cast recording for Epic II.
