...very catchy tunes, and the show is brilliant. It takes place in Ancient Greece, and it’s about the first Olympics ever. There’s a demigod named Hugh Bris who has to win an athletic competition in order to become a full God. Hilarity ensues, conflict begins, and soul-mates are found. I play this character Brometheus, a frat guy who’s really into Greek life...That’s the big joke. I’m constantly inviting Gods to give me a fist bump. It’s fun.THC: Very manly...
