  3. Medusa: A New Musical Development Documentary


The documentary will follow Broadway actors, directors, and choreographers as they collaborate with MSU musical theatre and dance students and local high school actors to create the new musical - Medusa.

Based on the original Greek Myth, "Medusa" is the story of a woman who tries to make her own fate in a patriarchal world. When the god Poseidon assaults her one night, she learns just how little power she holds in the supposedly free and enlightened City of Athens. Told with modern language and a darkly energetic score of hip-hop and rock, Medusa fights back against both gods and mortals as rumors fly about this angry woman with "snakes in her hair."
