An energetic production, with emphasis on the throngs of citizens, who can easily be persuaded when in a mob atmosphere. The battles stole some ideas from the film 300, which gave a great sense of organized tactics, and big action freezes. Most of the score was percussion, but there were a few moments in the show that were meant to be elegantly simple with tonal sound, simple melody lines, and percussion accents.
