THE (DISASTER) MARATHON OF 1904 tells the very real story of one of the most unbelievable events in athletic history, as told by Pheidippides, the ancient Greek runner who died after running from Marathon to Athens. From a cheating scandal, to a runner being poisoned, to another falling asleep mid-race, the St. Louis Olympic marathon is a story of epic and ridiculous proportions. This new musical comedy is packed with humor, heart, and... sole.
