About this Event

The Odyssey
Original Concept by: Homer
Music, Adapted Book, and Lyrics by: Howard Zilber
Music Directed by: Alex Taylor

Written by Local Playwright-Composer Howard Zilber

This fresh take on Homer's iconic 8th century BCE epic poem follows a colorful cast of iconic characters, including Penelope, Telemachus, Helen and Poseidon, as they sing-through Odysseus's twenty year journey back to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Infused with operatic melodies, group numbers, and emotional ballads, this world premiere of The Odyssey , a through-sung musical, is sure to be unlike any adaptation you've ever seen.
