Part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, this new musical comedy is a comic-book style 'epic' that chronicles the battle between a young Pope and the Archbishop who will stop at nothing to replace him. More…
'Pope! An Epic Musical' is an award-winning musical comedy of heroic proportions. It tells the tale of an idealistic, rock-star Pope, and his ambitious nemesis, the Archbishop, who relentlessly strives to wear the Pope's mitre. In this comic book world, the papal masses are charmed at first, but the Pope soon learns that a few well-placed enemies can overpower a few million fans. When the tyrannical Archbishop sweeps in and seizes power, the world cries out for a hero…and only the Pope can answer the call. Good and evil collide in this rambunctious, Shakespearean power struggle where lines must be drawn, sides must be taken, and confrontations must be musical.
