WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Two-time Tony nominee Gavin Creel stars in the title role of Prometheus Bound, a world premiere musical by Steven Sater and Serj Tankian, directed by Diane Paulus.
An outcry against tyranny, Prometheus Bound illustrates one man's struggle against the brute force of a ruthless dictator. Written by Tony and Grammy Award-winning lyricist and playwright Steven Sater (Spring Awakening) with music composed by Grammy Award-winning System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian, this new musical is inspired by Aeschylus's ancient Greek tragedy about the suffering of Western civilization's first prisoner of conscience.

The experience is raw and loud, all 3D and in your face -- and sprawled across your cabaret table.
It's also, improbably, touching and thought-provoking, thanks largely to a poetically adapted script by Steven Sater, who here illumines Greek mythology much as he did sexual repression in 1890s Germany with Spring Awakening. Still, it might be a good idea to go in knowing the general outline[...]
