Crazy idea: TBOSAS musical
Personally, I really liked the TBOSAS movie, but I think that a stage musical would solve some of the problems that people have with it. Coryo does come across as too sympathetic without his internal monologue, but a musical could fix that because songs can serve as a person's inner thoughts, out loud.
It could be really interesting actually, if he says his words and sings his thoughts, and this could be true for everyone, like, when he's getting Sejanus out of the arena, Sejanus can sing what he's actually thinking and saying, which are the same, and Coryo always speaks to him and then when he sings it's like "this fuckin idiot" lmao.
And his and Lucy Gray's harmonies can get progressively crunchier until like at the very end when he shoots and she screams and he shouts something and it makes a horrible dissonant tritone in multiple octaves! That would be really cool!
Anyway yeah I think that would be neat, what do y'all think?
