Reference excerpt

Pop Off, Michelangelo! is an electropop comedy musical written by Dylan MarcAurele. Directed by Joe McNeice, the musical premiered at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Production history Dylan MarcAurele first became inspired to write the musical on his honeymoon in Florence, when he was told Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci "were both gay artists, bitter rivals, but completely different in their lifestyles and philosophies". Due to how developed with director Joe McNeice, the show fuses "British camp" and "American chick flick" sensibilities from McNeice and MarcAurele respectively. Pop Off, Michelangelo! had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival on 31 July 2024. Directed by Joe McNeice, it was performed at the Gilded Balloon Patter House until 26 August, with Max Eade originating the titular role (Mike) opposite Aidan MacColl as Leonardo (Leo). Also in the cast were Sylvie Stenson, Joe Winter and Paul Toulson. On 4 and 4 November 2024, Pop Off, Michelangelo! had a two-night London premiere at The Other Palace. Eade, MacColl and Toulson reprised their roles, while Lucy Carter and Maiya Quansah-Breed joined as Savonarola and Mother respectively. Assistant choreographer and Edinburgh understudy Conn McGirr also played Salai, taking over from Joe Winter. Pop Off Michelangelo! returned to London for a spring 2025 limited run at the Underbelly Boulevard Soho, produced by Blair Russell Productions. In addition to Eade and MacColl, the cast included Laura Sillett, Kurran Dhand, Michael Marouli and Aoife Haakenson. A new mystery character portrayed by Sev Keoshgerian was added, revealed to be Niccolò Machiavelli. Previews began on 17 May, the show opened on 23 May with performances until 22 June.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Pop Off, Michelangelo!

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Pop Off, Michelangelo! claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Pop Off, Michelangelo! before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Pop Off, Michelangelo! ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Pop Off, Michelangelo!

In research: Pop Off, Michelangelo! appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Pop Off, Michelangelo! in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Pop Off, Michelangelo! is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2024 musicals, Cultural depictions of Leonardo da Vinci, Cultural depictions of Michelangelo, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Pop Off, Michelangelo! outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
