Do I sense another Tim Burton/Johnny Depp film collaboration in the near future, based upon this?

~ This was a beautiful play. I loved it from the music and the performances. The actor who played Poe has delivered an excellent performance. It was heart touching. Thank you for sharing this musical Dr Omega.

~ It definitely sounds something that they would do. And I'd be down to see it.

As the ground keeps shifting
Trying to keep sane
As the rules keep changing"
