The tragedy of the 17th-century polymath, Galileo, never catches fire in this sluggish three-hour-long production due to generic music, surface-level character development, and lack of new revelations.
Galileo: A Rock Musical fails to shed light on lesser-known details of Galileo's life, such as why he gave his daughter to the church and the reasons for his friend's betrayal, resulting in a lack of urgency and surprises in the plot.
The musical depicts the brutality of the Church and the challenging times for science and reason during Galileo's era, emphasizing the struggle of individuals like Galileo against the oppressive power of institutions.
