Relationships

How the characters connect to each other.

Things to remember

Some things are decided. Some are still just ideas.

The beginning: We open with the Ephors. Carneia is the reason Sparta cannot go to war. Ares tells them the gods do not approve of the war. Apollo overhears him and decides to help.
TopicWhere we are with it
The endingJust an idea
One idea is that Zeus takes Greece and the name Ares away from him, turning him into Mars. We have not decided if we are doing this yet or exactly how it would happen.
Captain AtticusCurrent
Atticus is Leonidas’s second in command. He leads the interaction with the Persian Messenger in the new version. Artemis is only the goddess.
DoublingStill working on
The Ephors also play other characters. Right now we have the Persian Messenger, Persian General, Oracle and the Kleon/Hades track. The fifth track is still open. Atticus also plays Cleom, and Ephialtes also plays Leonidas’s father.
HadesNot decided
Hades may be played by the same person as Kleon, but we have not decided what he actually does in the musical yet.
History and mythologyCurrent
We use real history and mythology, but this is still our version of the story. Something being historical does not automatically make it part of the musical.
The sound

Music

The different groups should sound different from each other. We are using rock, pop, R&B, rap, soul, EDM, dark synth, acoustic and electronic drums, synth bass, 808s, horns and strings.

Athena: vibraphone · Apollo: harp and voices · Artemis: flute · Ares: march drums and strings · Aphrodite: marimba · Poseidon: piano · Zeus: electric sound · Hades: dark choir · Cyrus: disco synth

Not part of this

Keep separate

The World Before Tomorrow is a completely different project. None of its story belongs in The Final Stand. What a God is also not a song in this musical.
