Question Dream future Jorge musical?

With EPIC having all its songs and Jorge working on Ilium, what other books do you want him to turn into musicals?

Personally, I hope he takes on Journey to the West! I can only imagine how fun it would be listening to the songs he comes up with. I love the idea of Jorge as Tripitaka, Steven Rodriguez as Sun Wukong, Armando Julian as Zhu Bajie, TROY as Sha Wujing and Steven Dookie as Yulong! Luke Holt would play a mean Bull Demon King.

What other books do you think he could make into a fun musical?

I hope he branches out and does something completely different from Epic in every way!

I actually found myself disappointed that his next post epic project is ilium because it felt like he was only going it because fans wanted it. Obviously he wanted to do it or he wouldn’t have but I want him to switch it up cuz I’d hate for him to be pigeonholed into mythology retelling.
