The disdain people in this fandom have for a potential stage-production of EPIC is really disheartening

I’ve seen so many people just write off stage productions, say they’d rather it not happen, talk about it as if it is some impossible thing that will only limit Jorge and be unhelpful to EPIC as a whole.

I feel like, idk, maybe cuz of how big EPIC has gotten and the larger general crowd it has attracted has led to many fans not enjoying the idea of a musical on stage simply because many people here don’t like going to the theater or view theater/stage productions as either inaccessible or unfavorable.

And I get it, for many people seeing EPIC on a stage especially in the beginning will just be impossible. And maybe stage productions of musicals aren’t your thing. But it’s just so disheartening to see the sheer amount of people seemingly in love with a MUSICAL that (at one point) had its creator making a 2nd fitness account to one day play Odysseus himself, and make videos talking about ideas he had for stage set ups and choreography for certain songs, be so apathetic towards seeing EPIC have a stage play some day.

I too want to see an animated movie. I too want to see Jorge’s full vision explored in some crazy technological stage show some day. But I also just want to heard it peformed on a stage. I’d take a simple lineup with some loose costuming, I’d take just them singing on a stage of any kind. That stuff’s powerful!

Maybe it’s just because I’ve been following the journey for so long since back when the entire thing sounded like Hamilton and Athena was rapping the narration. But I guess just the overall decline in interest for musical theatre is making me feel down lmao

Edit: some of these replies are so heartwarming!!! Faith restored lol
