I have an outline for an original musical called "Judas Iscariot the Musical." Possible subtitle "Can We Escape Hell?" If you have any ideas on it, let me know.
1. Jesus dies a horrible death on the Cross, goes to Hell (Apostle’s Creed), and can't remember who he is. He says, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Something that is also a reference to a passage in the Psalms.
2. He meets Judas in Hell, who helps him remember that he is not just a man but the Messiah, the Savior.
3. Judas is actually a good guy who betrayed Jesus -- not for the money, but because he loved Mary Magdalene. He didn’t think they would kill Jesus.
4. Mary only had eyes for Jesus -- so it's a love triangle. Mary’s mother preferred Judas to Jesus for her daughter. Judas was a rich man on earth and has a chariot.
5. There are also devils and demons in Hell. They look like Hell’s Angels bikers who have Egyptian pyramids. One is called Mephistopheles, and he wants Judas to keep Jesus in confusion in Hell so that he doesn’t remember his identity as the Messiah. If Jesus learns his identity, he would rise out of Hell.
6. Mephistopheles tempts Judas by offering him Mary. Judas can have his love, Mary, in Hell for eternity if he keeps Jesus confused.
7. Judas is now facing the same temptation of betraying Jesus that he felt on earth.
8. There are flashbacks to the earth, and Jesus eventually regains his memory with Judas' help.
9. Jesus forgives Judas, and they both ascend from Hell (a happy ending). So yes, you can escape Hell.
The Bible doesn’t tell you much of what happened in Hell. It is like Swiss Cheese with big holes in it. The holes allow you to fill in the details with what you think might have happened. This musical will be a lavish spectacle, a feast for the eyes! When does a musical take place in Hell? It could also be seen as the sequel to Jesus Christ Superstar.

Nope.
Is this a joke?
Don’t quit your day job yet.
That’s blaspheming Jesus Christ. Ditch that idea and gin up a story about Mohammad instead.
BLASHEMY
This is the only true way to escape Hell:
How can I not go to hell?
Not going to hell is easier than you think.

You have a creative mind and strong imagination. I would bet you can come up with a good story that doesn’t disrespect the King of Kings. Be careful not to mess with The Word!
What does it mean to be twisting the Scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16)?
https://www.gotquestions.org/twisting-Scriptures-to-their-own-destruction.html
Subtitle: My Ode To Baphomet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apokatastasis
The AD 543 Synod of Constantinople was a local synod convened to condemn Origen and his views…. Various beliefs espoused by Origen rooted in his theory concerning the origin and destination of the soul—principally apocatastasis both in reference to a restoration of the world separate from a Final Judgment and to the ultimate salvation of all souls before the end of time—were also condemned as anathema.
For the sake of your soul, and that of other people who could be lead into error, I beg you to reject this idea. If you are Catholic, I beg you to go to confession.
The “triumphant descent of Christ into hell”, also referred to as the “harrowing of hell”, was not for the benefit of the damned, or to interact with, or intervene for, same but instead to bring “salvation to the souls held captive there since the beginning of the world.”
https://www.catholic.com/encyclopedia/harrowing-of-hell
Catholic Answers has its problems with modernist influence but on this point it’s succinct and helpful.
For what it’s worth, anywhere you go here in terms of creative expression will likely not be presented for public consumption until after Mel Gibson releases his cinematic treatment of the subject, currently under production.
By necessity, Gibson’s treatment of the harrowing of hell will reflect his use of creative license. That license, as employed by Gibson, is expected to reflect, and expand upon, rich Catholic tradition, Catholic thought generally, and, more particularly, those perspectives which Catholic saints and mystics have offered on the subject.
This. (Thx VLL)
I’m not sure how I am twisting scripture because there is a lot that is not said... I’m taking creative liberties with what was not said. Maybe that is the offense. If I had said that jesus didn’t die a horrible death and that he did not arise from Hell then that would be wrong. This is just a creative attempt to guess what may have happened — I’m not saying it did happen this way. I’m curious to think did Jesus met Judas in hell? Again this is not the gospel but liberities taken in the same way as Jesus Christ Superstar, no doubt, took liberties. Thanks for you input.
I’m not espousing beliefs. I am just taking liberties to tell a story of Jesus meeting Judas in hell. I’m not saying any of it is truth. It’s one of those, “Well suppose Jesus met Judas in Hell. What do you think might have happened?” “Well... maybe Jesus died so horribly that he can’t remember who he is and Judas helps him remember.” “But why would Judas help Jesus out?” So on it goes with interesting speculation. Its not met to say this is what really happened.
Nope
Oh, and thanks for your input.
Who is your audience? Christians wouldn’t be bothered with your heresy. The left worships the devil - Why would they want to leave Hell?
there are AI out there who might make this into a full featured film for a few thousand dollars.
It might make you lots of money.
maybe watch this if it is still free on netflix

Blasphemy.
