Incredibly insightful discussion, I actually watched the entire panel without realizing how long it was - it was especially interesting to note that all of these brilliant people took pleasure in Prometheus Bound as a rock musical. My main concern with PB being turned into a heavy rock musical was the possible minimization of the central narrative. It's great to hear that that isn't the case.
