Medusa: The Musical

What if the story you've been told wasn't the real story? What if Medusa was more than a villain to be slain? What if she was once a young girl who wanted to help people? A naive girl who fell into an abusive relationship with a powerful sea god? A sea god who had a long standing rivalry with Athena, the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy?

What does it mean to be a god if you are still powerless?

Please enjoy Medusa: The Musical. Words and music by Alex Poole. This is a live reading of the script and songs. If you enjoy other shows such as: Alice By Heart, Spring Awakening, Hadestown, and Epic, you are going to love this one!

Thank you so much for watching! This would not have been possible without the amazing cast and band featured in the video. Aside from being the most talented people I know, they are also the kindest and did this project without pay. For the next two weeks after this video is posted, I will be taking donations for the show which will go directly to paying the artists who were involved in Medusa: The Musical. If you are wanting to donate, below is my personal venmo information:

Stay tuned for videos going behind the scenes of Medusa: The Musical, talking about writing the music, getting the band together, converting my living room into an NPR Tiny Desk style performance space, and more!

Medusa: The Musical is the first show in a 15 month challenge where I write a show from conception to performance in a month. Join me (and my creative parter (and life partner) Madison) as we begin work on our second show of the 15. This next show will be a HORROR MUSICAL! More details to come!

Thanks so much for watching. Every view, like, comment, and subscribe helps the channel grow and helps me to share art and ideas with people just like you!
