In ZA, I Need Us To Fight Alongside Emmet To Get Ingo Back And Grant A Wish, But It’s A Race Against

Current mood: the long, belting note at the end of the Love in Paradise “cliff scene”

You mates know the one

Rip odysseus you would’ve loved joining jorge rivera-herrans on his trip to ithaca to celebrate the release of the final saga of epic the musical the ithaca saga coming out december 25th 2024

You’ve heard of Chekhov’s gun now get ready for Chekhov’s Wind Bag

So I’m re-watching Gigi’s animated snippets of Hermes in God Games, and hearing so many of his laughs consecutively made me realize that his laugh in Dangerous sounds…off. I had to pull up Dangerous and Wouldn’t You Like just to do a double take.

At first I thought it sounds different because his laugh doesn’t escalate in pitch, but when he laughs in Dangerous, it’s not even that. It doesn’t sound like a real laugh. Jorge is super particular about direction and the choices he and the actors make in the final song cuts, so I’m curious if Hermes’ laugh in Dangerous was also a specific take.

My next question then is *why*? Why does he sound so off?

AAAAAAAAAA

I cant be the only one who sees a face on the water here right????? Right???????

Hi, hello, allow me to casually rip your heart out

In We’ll Be Fine, the beginning piano hits are taken from My Goodbeye. Go give it a listen

:’)

Tumbles I need someone to jump start my brain.

In “I Can’t Help but Wonder”, Odysseus has a line where he goes “today you’re not alone”, and he has a little partial riff where he holds that “alone”.

Is that supposed to be a shortened version of the “Telemachus” riff or am I just losing it???

I desperately need Ilion The Musical to become a thing (when Jorge feels like it) so I can get more songs like Survive where Odysseus and Achilles are singing and shouting orders and we hear the Acheans and Myrmidons(?) all shouting like RAH RAH RAH! And it’ll be really cool and epic.

Sometimes I just need songs interjected with soldiers shouting.

Tomorrow, Odysseus will be home.
