Video: Michael Park Sings 'Rebellious Children' in MYTHIC at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Watch a video of Michael Park singing "Rebellious Children" as 'Zeus' in Mythic at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. MYTHIC, a new pop-rock musical comedy with Broadway ambitions premiered in the U.S. on Sept. 25. The production, directed and choreographed by three-time-Tony Award-winning Kathleen Marshall, runs through Oct. 19.

Park was recently seen on Broadway alongside Idina Menzel in Redwood. His other Broadway credits include Dear Evan Hansen, Tuck Everlasting, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Little Me, Smokey Joe's Cafe, and Carousel.

MYTHIC features book and lyrics by Marcus Stevens, with music and orchestrations by Oran Eldor and is produced by special arrangement with SHO Productions / Shoshana Kovac Parets. 

The ancient Greek myth of Persephone is turned on its ear in MYTHIC, with the gods reimagined as chart-topping pop stars, power-hungry politicians, and attention-seeking influencers. Starstruck by Olympian celebrity, Persephone rebels against her mother Demeter’s expectations and decides to forge her own path.

When she sneaks into a party at the Acropolis and meets brooding bad-boy Hades, her life takes an unexpected turn into the Underworld. MYTHIC played to critical acclaim in London and in a sold-out run in Montreal.

A highly acclaimed director and choreographer, Marshall is known for her work on Broadway musicals. Nominated for nine Tony Awards, Marshall has won three for Wonderful Town (2004), The Pajama Game (2006) and Anything Goes (2011). She has also received an Olivier Award and numerous Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards, among many others.
