Synopsis: The musical starts out in a congressional hearing of conservative Senators interrogating NASA scientist, Dr. John Holden on climate change research as they mock the existence of global warming. In a moment of this overwhelming stir, Dr. Holden transforms into the famous astronomer Galileo Galilei. The play then shifts and unravels into parallels of haunting similarities of social, political, and religious ideologies and attitudes toward science and progressiveness. Reviews:
