An Interview with 'Khan!!! The Musical' Composer/Creator Brent Black
Greg Ehrhardt, OnStage Blog Editorial Staff
OnStage Blog had the pleasure to speak to Brent Black, creator, and composer of the new musical “Khan!!! The Musical”, coming to The Players Theatre in New York City.
Among the topics covered during the conversation:
1) Why Brent chose “Wrath of Khan” to be parodied instead of other movies or episodes
2) How composing songs based on video games for his YouTube channel helped his songwriting skills
3) Is nerd culture an underserved market on Broadway?
4) How people who have never seen a single Star Trek episode will still enjoy the musical
5) How ‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ helped influence his adaptation of Khan.
6) Brent picks his ideal Star Trek Enterprise crew (see 2nd video below)
and much more!
Khan!!! The Musical opens Thursday, March 4th. We will be reviewing the show and publishing our thoughts next week.
Greg talks with Brent Black about ‘Khan!!! The Musical’ and his unique journey to get back to launching a brand new musical.
Brent and Greg play a game where they pick their favorite crew members position by position, The Original Series vs The Next Generation.
