How will Dionysus react to his impending middle age? Will he choose to accept his fate with grace and dignity? Or will he decide it is better to burn out then to fade away?
A cast of 14 Montreal actors sing, dance, act, and play in MainLine's first original musical since 2006's Johnny Canuck and the Last Burlesque. Hechtman, Goddard and Carpenter reunite for a smorgasborgiastic extraspectaculaganza the likes of which have not been seen in over two thousand years.
