ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When did you first want to write a musical and why?
You have such a strong background in pop was it a natural transition to writing for musical theater?
Why was the story of Frankenstein what captured your imagination?
Have you always loved that story?
HARRY: I was first introduced toFrankensteinthrough my mothers adaptation,Playing With Fire (After Frankenstein).
Do you have a song on the album you’re proudest of?
CHASEZ: Im proudest of the fact that I love the body of work.
HARRY: Impossible to choose.
I do really love every song on the album for different reasons.
But it really shines when you experience the album it in its entirety.
What song was hardest to crack?
CHASEZ: “Broken” was a challenging song.
It has to do a lot of work in the storytelling, and emotionally its a lot to process.
The subject matter was so sensitive that it needed to be approached with great care.
Some days, we would finish a session having only written a couple of words.
This is the full concept album.
Are you still intending to seek out opportunities to stage the show fully?
HARRY: Yes, for sure!
