Haven Burton (Broadway's How to Dance in Ohio, Shrek, Kinky Boots, and Legally Blonde) and Greg Hildreth (Broadway's Frozen, Company, Peter and the Starcatcher, and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) perform "What Would a Hero Do" from the musical OPRHIE & THE BOOK OF HEROES.
This concept video uses the album recording of the song to reimagine the stage musical as a modern, Pixar-style animated feature.
ORPHIE & THE BOOK OF HEROES is a comedic adventure musical for all ages by musical theatre writers Michael Kooman and Christopher Dimond (Disney's Vampirina, Netflix's Ridley Jones). The show premiered to rave reviews at the Kennedy Center.
Spunky and curious Orphie, a young girl in Ancient Greece, sets out to save storyteller Homer and his Book of Heroes -- a quest that takes her through the fantastical world of Greek mythology, from the heights of Mt. Olympus to the depths of the underworld.
Here, after Homer has been taken to the Underworld, Orphie comes up with a plan to rescue him, aided by a fantastical version of Heracles, who appears from a poster on her wall.
