Zombies are popular on TV and films. Some theme parks have incorporated them as part of their attractions. Our producer went to a shoplot studio, avoiding the singing zombies there to chat with three involved in the upcoming musical showcase. The writer-lyricist narrates how the idea for this work came to him and tells on the collaboration with music composers Lydia Tong and Kelvin Loh. Our other guests share on the pleasure of performance in this quirky musical.
