This classic tale by Homer
has been adapted into an exciting musical for kids by local writing/songwriting team Charles Queary and Jef Labes. We follow the journey of Greek hero Odysseus as he and his crew sail for ten long years on their voyage home to Ithaca. Facing many obstacles like Cyclops, Circe, enchanted sirens, and even a few of the Greek Gods themselves, they struggle onward. Meanwhile, back at the castle . . . wife Penelope and son Telemachus await his safe return and try to fend off the unruly suitors anxious to wed Penelope, kill Telemachus and take over the kingdom. Luckily Odysseus and Penelope have some good fortune as goddess Athena watches over them. Royal battles, magical creatures, Greek Gods, amazing music – this show has it all and has become a YES Theater classic!
