The Editing Session on Tuesday went very well, and although plans have changed for the first act, the second remains completely in tact.

Notable changes:

1) Claudius and Julia will have a song. They have not been cut, but they will only be in a total of one song, with chorus parts during most of the rest of the first act, and the first half of the second.

2) Act One will have more spoken lines than Act Two. Act Two will primarily be done in the form of music, with a few lines for exposition.

3) Brutus has been cut from the musical entirely, and with him two numbers in the first act. With this edit, a number of lines have been edited in the script, giving Claudius and Julia more lines.

4) Orpheus will be performing a solo song for the third number.

Progress proceeds on completing the second half of the first act through the first half of the second act. The music is 60% finished, and all the numbers should be finished by the end of August.

New Developments:

- Eurydice's solo in Act One is 50% finished
- The plotline is as close to finished as it will get before the rest of the music is written
- Hades and Persephone have a duet. Hades will have a solo in one song in the second act, but Persephone will not have a song to herself as of this moment.

Keep an eye on this blog for more developments as they occur.
