While listening to a particularly boring and repetitive lecture on CalTech's student life, a thought occurred to me - a musical! A mathematical musical! Swiftly, as the muse was upon me, I wrote and hummed and wrote. Alas, for the moment, my draft is vanished, lost from sight, but here is the outline, from memory.
Mathematics versus Mormonics - an epic musical in four songs and four scenes.
Scene/Song 1: Mathematics: Madness or Magnificence?
2: A Soul in Peril: Timmeraque vs. Moroni
3: I Threw Down my Enemy, and Smote His Ruin - Perhaps!
4: Reconciliation; or Even A Mormon (Mollusk?) Can Do It
Hot drinks are at the heart of the play, and David cameos frequently. The intended running time is <10 minutes.
The main problem with the whole affair is that I am not really a singer or a songwriter, and, as such, I'm not certain if the songs I write are really singable. (Though that's not a word.) So, when I recover my notes, I shall certainly have to consult among you to determine how exactly matters shall proceed, and notes shall be written.
I think that's all for the moment.

Sounds intriguing! I might be able to maybe squeeze out a melody or two, but I don't know who would actually be able to play and/or sing it.
So it's a musical with visuals as well, or just music?
It would be like the Chronicles Movie, except with more songs. And less talking. And swordfighting. Less of all of those.
