HOMER'S ODYSSEY - A Mini Musical
A one-man musical journey through one of humanity’s greatest stories. Loucas Loizou brings Homer’s epic to life through storytelling and song, playing an older Odysseus reflecting on love, war, loss, and the long road home.
Performed live and acoustically, the show blends classical myth with original, melodic songs and humour, inviting audiences into an intimate theatrical experience. The work was warmly reviewed by Tony Knight, former Head of Drama at NIDA and teacher of Cate Blanchett, praising the “beautiful and melodic songs.”
Now in its 8th celebrated year at the Adelaide Fringe, this mini musical continues to resonate with audiences through music, imagination, and heart.
“All live, all acoustic and all heartfelt.” – Adelaide Theatre Guide
★★★★★ “Loizou has passion, pathos, and humor” – The Advertiser
"Terrific storytelling talents," Tony Knight, Stage Whispers.
"A vivid raconteur," The Age.
