The
rock band JASON & THE ARGONAUTS journey to Los Angeles seeking the Golden
Fleece of rock stardom. The Band’s manager REX sets up an audition with IRIS,
who represents Mt. Olympus Productions of Hollywood headed by ART MOGUL. JASON
and Co-Vocalist MAE are creative and excited, but they conflict over Jason also
recording and writing songs for the punk band THE FURIES. Jason gets involved
with Ambrosia, the food of the Gods, with heavy duty consequences. He seeks his
own drug free redemption through his songwriting collaboration with His true
love, Mae.
Featuring an eclectic musical score including rock, punk, hip hop, and ballads,
and choreographed dance numbers, the CAST of Three Women and Five Men sing live
to the professionally recorded instrumental score. The running time is
approximately two hours and fifteen minutes including a ten minute
intermission. The set pieces and props are minimal, and the costumes are easily
acquired. The musical can be performed with a CAST of six if necessary.
Notes: Photos and other songs and excerpts from a production of the musical will be added.
