No longer just a meeting platform, Zoom is now the foundation of a musical.
Out of Hand Theater presents potentially the world’s first original “Zoomsical.”
Director and composer Haddon Kime created a 10-minute musical comedy featuring eight new songs with four performers. It’s called “Lag: A Zoomsical.”
“Lag is a metaphor for not just the technical glitches that sometimes happen with this video conferencing software, but also because our lives our lagging a little bit. Our bank accounts are lagging. Our plans are lagging. Our vacations are lagging. My child’s education is lagging. So there’s a lag going on and instead of calling it a musical since it’s on Zoom, we called it a Zoomsical,” said Kime.
“City Lights” host Lois Reitzes spoke with Kime and with singer, actor Minka Wiltz about performing on this platform.
