Episode 25 - Matt Herrero, Joel Chapman, Weston Gaylord, Ken Savage, and Jessia Hoffman: GRAVITY
This episode features a conversation with Matt Herrero, Joel Chapman, Weston Gaylord, Ken Savage, and Jessia Hoffman about their musical GRAVITY: A Newtonian Musical.
When physics prodigy Sophie is accidentally catapulted back in time, her meet-cute with 23 year-old Isaac Newton prevents him from discovering gravity—trapping Sophie in 1666.
To return home, Sophie must restore history and navigate the Enlightenment, where Natural Philosophers are the pop stars of their day. Along the way, she encounters historical luminaries such as up-and-comer Edmond Halley, Isaac’s rival Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, and the unknown author Margaret Cavendish, who is embroiled in her own quest for fame and scientific recognition.
GRAVITY is a hilarious romantic comedy, smashing together madcap time travel mayhem and delightfully remixed history.
This episode features the songs, “I’d Rather Be Mad” performed by Matt Herrero and “En Route” performed by Taylor Iman Jones and Matt Herrero.
