There are so many praises to sing, and even though only Act 1 has been released, it’s abundantly clear that this musical is very special. Act 1 of Epic is absolutely perfect, and Rivera-Herrans has woven together a really compelling re-telling of this myth. There’s just something about these songs that triggers some kind of dopamine receptor or rush that makes them absolutely intoxicating to listen to.
