Detailed explanation-1: -Moby Dick is a musical with a book by Robert Longden, and music and lyrics by Longden and Hereward Kaye, first staged in 1990.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adventure; Literary Fiction; Psychological Thriller; Quest; Tragedy. Moby-Dick collects genres the way some people collect loose change: the novel has lots of them, all different types, tucked in its pockets and hidden in its rigging and floating alongside its whaling boats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Reception. The Cambridge production was generally well reviewed, with praise for the music and the work of scenic designer Mimi Lien in particular, while common criticisms included the 3+1⁄2-hour length and “The Ballad of Pip” section.

Detailed explanation-4: -Moby-Dick is, fundamentally, a revenge tragedy. It’s about one man’s maniacal obsession with vengeance. It’s about finding an object on which to pin all your anger and fear and rage, not only about your own suffering, but also about the suffering of all mankind.
