I FOUND YOU TWO SECONDS AGO HOLD UP THERE’S A ZR MUSICAL?????? WOW! SO COOL!

when could I listen to it? I literally just finished stretching after running S2 E30, and I don’t want any songs to spoil me for future stuff, how far does the musical go and what songs could I listen to now?

HELLO! Yes, there is a ZR musical! I'm super happy you found us!

Based on where you are now, you can listen to the songs in Act I all the way through "Morning Run" (stop at "Reunion"). But "Reunion" covers the events of S2M31, so you'll be able to listen to it after just one more mission :)

Once you finish Season 2, you'll be able to listen to all of Act I. Act II covers everything in Season 3.

Happy listening!

a detailed report on my thoughts from ZR:Musical

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[justanothercricket]

Act I Sam: Okay, this is getting bad, but just make sure you come home, okay? It’ll all be okay as long as you come home.

Act II Sam: WHAT PART OF COME HOME DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND

[zombiesrunmusical]

ough i'm still obsessed with this musical tbh

LOVE YOU ANON

[zombiesrunmusical]

We would like to formally apologize 🫡

My brain: lets relisten to the zr musical while you work on your animation stuff so we’re productive and consuming brainrot fuel and happy hormones at the same time!!!

Me: GREAT IDE—

[notebooksnshoelaces]

Ok ok ok... so I made a thing. Two things, i guess.. I'm not an artist mind you, so this is a photo I took on the road I run on. I edited it and added a quote from "Welcome to Abel." I made this for the @zombiesrunmusical fan contest!

I made these as phone screen backgrounds, so if anyone wants to use them please go right ahead. 😊

P.S. That tower is behind my house. So as I run back home, I really do "follow the light on the radio tower." ❤

My Thoughts on Zombies, Run! The Musical (Part 2*)

(*I had so many thoughts I had to put this into two posts, find part 1 here)

In my previous post I have talked about some overall thoughts I had, about how well the team did for having no budget and recording remotely. Also how good the instrumentation is, and reviewed the first seven songs.

Some thoughts on the story:

It is insane how much they managed to put into just the first act! Sure, there is a lot missing and some events are a bit out of order, but most of the main characters are there, and all the important plot points. I honestly thought that the stuff that is in Act 1 would be the WHOLE musical, not just Act 1!

Yes, there is no radio mode, and that makes me sad because, well, you know me, I love the Radio Cabel crew. But also Radio Mode was overall not that crucial to the story, and there are many fans (especially newer fans) who don’t even listen to it much, so it made sense to not have it in there.

Mildred though? Mildred is the star or ZR, and should have been included for sure ;)

Okay, that’s it, great job with the story, love it love it!

And now here is my review of the rest of the songs:

8. Morning Run

The idea of bringing a ukulele to a run is so stupid, I could really see Simon do that. I like the idea of having the actor play it on stage, without any additional music. The “Good Morning to the Apocalypse” theme that is introduced in Welcome to Abel comes back here, and it’s a lot of fun.

Special shout out to the Waterloo part in the end, Simon “handing over” the song to Sam who is just like “Simon...” and then he says “Back to me” before finishing the song. It’s hilarious and I enjoyed it. Well done, everyone!

9. Reunion:

I have to repeat what I said about A Voice in the Dark. I don’t like ballads in musicals. No matter how amazing they are, they are usually my least favourite moments of any musical (or opera). But as far as ballads go, this one is really sweet. I like how the melody goes down at the end of the lines, like in “in Bristol” and “drizzle”, loved that.

The singers did a really great job! In the end when they sing together, it’s the same story as in Welcome to Abel, it’s a bit difficult to understand either of them, and if they had sung this together in the same room, it would have taken the song to a totally different level.

But it’s still well done, and a good song, and kudos to the singers! Performing a duett without the partner next to you must be super difficult! And I could feel the emotion in the song, thank you :)

10. Have you met my friends:

Yeah, I love this song because it’s an Archie song and it is just as well made as “Archie to the Rescue” but I hate hate HATE the ending.

Not because the song isn’t good, but because I hate what happens to Archie in the story and I feel like you should have totally re-written everything so that in the end Archie is happy and living a long and happy life with Jamie and then Sara joins them and they live in Buckingham Palace together okay being badass? Okay.

Awesome song, amazing performance!!

11. Oh, look at that:

It’s a short song, well made, well performed. Very dramatic, give me ALL the drama!!

12. There’s Still Time:

I like this song a lot, because it brings back the “This is how you live forever” theme that I really liked about Van Arks song. There is also a short reprise of the “Run for your live” theme, and it is in a lower register and maybe that’s why I love that part even more than the original song!!

The song ends with Janine and Sam, and again I really enjoy these two together. The combination of their voices is really nice!

13. I’ll be waiting:

Again, ballads, not my thing. 

Didn’t stop me from crying though, so there’s that.

It is such an amazing performance, the “I’ll see my boys again” part was super sad. The last “You want my advice, you better run for your-” was haunting. So well made, from start to finish! Also, did you HAVE to make  the actress sob and cry during the performance. That makes ME sob and cry!

How dare you, all of you. Make me feel things. During a ballad.

15. Close Your Eyes:

My favourite line of that song is for sure “You wanted a hero, but I’m only a man” line!

This song is quite confusing; without the lyrics it’s a bit difficult telling everyone apart and following the plot. But that somehow works because it is supposed to be chaos and confusion, and a big crescendo of all the storylines so far (Van Ark, Abel, Simon).

Starting half way through the song, there are some beautiful lines sung by the choir (”Close your eyes and cover your ears”) and it sounds like a church gospel! That is performed so beautifully, and so clean, especially for a remote recording! Are you kidding, how beautiful was that!! Especially that first line!

16. The the Fallen and to Freedom:

I like this song. Again, not a big fan of ballads, but here you really need one, it is all about mourning the dead. Very well performed!

The part with the choir is again really well made, it must be so difficult to record!

In the beginning I was a bit confused because to me it felt like this should be the first song of Act 2, not the last of Act 1. But then when Moonchild showed up it made sense, and of course this needs to the be Act 1 cliffhanger!!

Final Thoughts:

Overall, I love it!

There is not a single song that I didn’t like, there is not performance that I didn’t like. There are only songs that I love, and songs that I love more. There are songs that I will listen to A LOT and songs that I will listen to a little less.

And in the end, all of that comes down to personal preference.

I want to thank everyone from the musical team for their passion and the time they invested, simply to celebrate this game we all love. And thank you for sharing all your passion and talent with us. I feel truely grateful that I got to listen to this Act 1, and I got to enjoy the story.

Thank you!

Love Love Peace Peace

professor van nastyboy gets an asskicking

i was SO inspired by the ZR Musical’s “ There’s Still Time “ because of this one absolutely banging line from sara and van dork’s subsequent anguished screech, so i couldn’t not put that out somehow.

link to go listen to the musical! it’s SO good. so good and soooo painful.
