High mindess is right. A full-throated modern opera about the wealthy, the insecure younger, as well as society's vast problems. All of it intertwined and at times, graphically, and other times, obscure ways. With a rambling 1st part, it sets the stage. Superficial life. While yes, the symbology in the 2nd part is all there - including sewage erupting on the elite. (this may or may not have been done before) only to really come to a full boil in the 3rd act. With race the central theme gender too. I enjoyed this recent attempt to reveal all of the 21st centuries problems which only seem to be getting worse. Which the ending seemingly implies.

Truly a different era of not only bodybuilders but of competition in general. They are friendly competitors in a society that encouraged itself. They show each other respect. From an epic pep talk by Lou's dad/trainer to Arnold's thoughts in general, this is a must-see for anyone, weightlifter, gym enthusiast or titan ready to step foot on stage an under those lights.

Meh, lots of yelling, melodramatic music, and not a very good script, but there are some good moments.
