Yall I am nearly vibrating with how excited I am to explore a concept in "no longer you" and "monster"
Vision: fog machine backstage is working overtime, and it's so thick you can hardly see anything on stage and then as Tiresias starts the chorus BOOM projections appear in/on the fog

For whenever Epic comes to a stage, I think when one of odysseus enemies shows up for their song they should have their name light up above the stage to look like a boss health bar. It would also help the general public that might not be familiar with the original story.
Also i think it would be heartbreaking to see “Eurylochus” show up during “mutiny”.

Questionnnnnn.
Do you know what's gonna happen after the next saga is done? Like if epic will become a staged performance or just stay an animated thing?
I don’t know what the official plan was, but Jorge has expressed interest in something animated, a stage performance, or even a video game! So hopefully we will get some news on that sometime after the final saga is out!!

Posiedon! (Drop 1st banner)
Tumblr media
Poseidon! (Drop 2nd banners)
Tumblr media
(Poseidon sings his bit, stepping into a center-god light)
Tumblr media
(Drop a “wave” curtain in the section where the fleet is wipes out)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Lights go red)
Tumblr media
(“Wave” rises to show actors lying “dead” and the lights all red)
Tumblr media
(Lighting would change dramatically at “All I’ve gotta do is open this bag”)
It works okay in my head, hopefully you can see the vision.

When you get that danm 🕯️ iPad 🕯️
Do you plan on doing animatics for epics? Or do you have other musicals in mind?
Most likely, I mean, if I do ace my exams...💀
I'd probably try to make animatics of epic or alien stage....stuff like that.....

The Underworld Saga, No Longer You
It's time for No Longer You! This is where stage elements really start to come into play, I hope y'all enjoy! Should be posting Monster soon!
Apologies for any formatting errors, I'm on mobile
Ao3 link here, full story under cut!
Stage directions are referenced, so here is a key:
(SR/SL are if you were standing on the stage, and what your left and right would be. If you were in the audience (house) it would be reversed) SR: stage right SL: Stage left CS: Center stage DS: Down stage US: Up stage MS: Mainstage (not a real industry term, but useful for this situation) Segue: means continue straight into without stopping Check out my pinned post for a diagram of the stage!
Segue from THE UNDERWORLD
Stage is still in the Underworld, fog machines continue, lights highlighting TIRESIAS in white/grey. As TIRESIAS begins, fog machines amp up, creating a thick fog by time of chorus. Projections will be onto mainstage fog. CREW exits during V1, leaving ODYSSEUS on the extension. TIRESIAS is blindfolded (use see-through fabric) and carries a wooden staff. Note: ODYSSEUS does not step onto mainstage during song until directed. 
TIRESIAS stays SR until ODYSSEUS speaks. 
TIRESIAS:
I am the prophet with the answers you seek
Time, I've unlocked it
I see past and future running free (He gestures, cue PROJECTION: A streak of white, winding across ground level, from TIRESIAS, SR to MidSL)
There is a world where I help you get home
But that's not a world I know
ODYSSEUS ( spoken, taking a step towards him ):
What?
Projections appear behind TIRESIAS as he walks.
TIRESIAS (crossing to CS):
I see a song of past romance                                                                         (PROJECTION: Shadow of PENELOPE)  
I see the sacrifice of man                                                                               (PROJECTION: Shadow of CREW being slain by POLYPHEMUS)
I see portrayals of betrayal                                                                             (PROJECTION: Shadow of crew opening bag of wind) *replace if more context later?
And a brother's final stand                                                                             (PROJECTION: Shadow of EURYLOCHUS, sword drawn)
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a man who gets to make it home alive                                                    (PROJECTION: Shadow of ODYSSEUS, but something is…off about his appearance)
But it's no longer you                                                                                     
(TIRESIAS waves and projections fade away)
ODYSSEUS (crossing towards him):
This can't be
We've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells
Now you tell us our effort's for nothing?
TIRESIAS:
I see your palace covered in rеd                                                                      (PROJECTION: Ithaca palace, ceiling spotlight highlight in red)
Faces of men who had long beliеved you're dead
I see your wife with a man who is haunting                                                    (PROJECTION: PENELOPE held close by a shrouded figure)
(ODYSSEUS takes a step towards the projection) 
A man with a trail of bodies (Projection disappears)
As ODYSSEUS speaks, he crosses the short distance between himself and TIRESIAS, placing a foot on the mainstage. As he does this, the audience gets a glimpse of the monster that Odysseus could be.
ODYSSEUS (spoken, angrily):
Who?!
TIRESIAS steps onto the extension, crossing past ODYSSEUS. ODYSSEUS turns to follow, stepping off of the mainstage. No projections for this chorus, let Tiresias do his thing on the extension.
*Note: I have no clue what the chorus is saying, so it will be left out of the lyrics for now
TIRESIAS:
I see a song of past romance
I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayal (He gestures at the ship set)
And a brother's final stand
(He turns to face ODYSSEUS)
I see you on the brink of death
(Takes a few steps towards him, ODYSSEUS steps back in horror)
I see you draw your final breath
(In time with music, he crosses to ODYSSEUS as he says:)
I see a man who gets to make it home alive
(Reaching ODYSSEUS, he pauses, standing shoulder to shoulder with him, as if he was to whisper this in Odysseus’ ear)
But it's no longer
You
(As he holds his final note, he brushes past ODYSSEUS and travels to the mainstage, exiting into the fog [ideally the fog is thick enough for him to become obscured])
Timed with ensemble vocals, ODYSSEUS starts after TIRESIAS, but realizes it's futile, stopping mid-extension walkway. He is left alone to deal with the weight of what he has been told.
Segue into MONSTER

While i agree that the jetpack used as an Attack on Titan jetpack was silly, it isnt as much as Hera summoning a literal dancing floor as her power or Circe's fight being a Pokemon fight :v
That being said!
I personally will imagine that scene as the Windbag using part of Poseidon's storm and that's how gets his attack Shatter The Ocean lowered. Hey, if Diomedes was sent to stab Aphrodite BY ATHENA it makes sense Odysseus was able to go stabby mode on Poseidon

So I was relistening to Epic: The Musical (as one does) and imagining it on stage (as one does) and YO! Great idea!
Odysseus finds infant in blanket
Odysseus saves blanket after Just A Man
Blanket is on his person like on his belt or something and he constantly grabs onto it
Singing the line "I'm just a man" throughout the 1st act
When he tells his men not to kill the cyclops in Remember Them
Singing to dream Penelope "but I'm the same!!"
When he tells Athena he can't sleep at night
He or Posieden reach out to it during the lines "if you just killed me son// but no"
During Puppeteer while explaining he can't leave his men
In The Underworld "I keep thinking of the infant from that night"(x2)
Odysseus fully pulls out the blanket during the song Monster looking at in his hands in the line "What if I'm the monster?"
Just as Odysseus raised his arm out holding the baby out he does the same to the blanket but this time he visibly drops the blanket to the audience in the line "And if I gotta to drop another infant from a wall in an instant so we all don't die, then I'll become the monster!"
It would make that part just as visibly insane as the audio and thematically, how I see it, it's not until that part of the musical that Odysseus ever actually kills the baby. Throughout the 1st act Odysseus is very much emotionally and mentally in the middle of the song Just A Man as he constantly grabs at any and all excuses/potential paths to NOT kill the thing that he knows he NEEDS to kill. He's still arguing with the Gods that he can "raise him as my own... send him far away from home.... make sure his past is never known" at every turn.
It's not until he FINALLY faces all of the consequences of those choices, the consequences that Zeus warns him of "he will burn your house down ... he will find you wherever you may go ... the Gods will make him known" that he actually comes to terms with the fact that he WILL kill and he never truly kills that infant until he sings that line in Monster.
That's just how I see it, and I think the visualization of Odysseus carrying around that blanket and constantly grabbing at it until he finally kills it, the infant, and his guilt; would just be a great way to represent that on stage.

Someone tell me why I can imagine a full on stage production of epic in my head like perfectly, down to blocking and sets 😭 I have no way of making this real, not that I would until it's completely released anyway but it's consuming me

so i just saw a video by Danny Motta on instagram where he says he agrees to react to Epic the Musical if he gets to 1million followers BUT if he gets there BEFORE 2025 he will react to ALIEN STAGE. It has been 2 weeks and he has gone from 850K followers to 900K, potentially because of this video. If you there are an alien stage enjoyer, GO FOLLOW HIM JUST FOR THIS MAYBE :D
