The School For Super-Heroes Presents Orlando Furioso, The Musical is about a group of students who don’t feel like they fit in at a high school for super-powered teenagers, due to their offbeat powers. Drawing on their combined abilities, the group decides to produce the most ambitious high school musical in history, based on a rollicking 16th-century fantasy epic that puts the King Arthur legends to shame. The result surprises them all and just maybe saves the world! Who could resist a musical that combines super-powers with dashing knights, powerful wizards, and warrior damsels?
