Sometimes it’s magical, though. I saw Hadestown on Broadway and when Orpheus turned someone in the audience gasped. Thousands of years and someone still gets to experience that moment for the first time. That’s the wonder we need to bring into the world.
In fairness, that scene got me too, and I've known how the story goes for thirty-odd years. The musical is just that enthralling.
maybe it will turn out this time
