Furthermore, during the nineteenth song, “Nothing at All”, Remy shares his joy in character costume fashion (cosplay) and sings, “when I’m Miles Morales, then I really do believe I am a superhero in the Multiverse.” The character Miles Morales was introduced in “Ultimate: Fallout” #4 (2011) released August 3rd, 2011 AD but the character only became associated with passing from one dimensional reality or universe to another with the release of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” (2018) in December of 2018 AD. The animated film's popularity grew over the coming months and public awareness of the famous main character exploded, resulting in a connection with multiverse narratives from 2019 AD on.
HOWEVER, it is directly based on real-world events that happened in Columbus, Ohio during the 3 months from early February to late April of 2013 AD, as chronicled in a documentary of the same name.
There was a Broadway revival in 2023.
