THE WALKING DEAD Star Danai Gurira Teases Talk of Doing a Broadway Musical

The Walking Dead star Danai Gurira has revealed that she and the team behind the hit zombie franchise have been talking about how they could adapt the series into a musical. While it may be in a joking manner, she thinks it is a real possibility.

During an interview with SFX magazine, she said: "I was just joking around about having a Walking Dead musical on Broadway. Me and [Scott] Gimple are actually chatting about it, which is ridiculous.”

She explained: "He's just said we don't have the rights to it. I'm like, 'Well, let's talk to [Robert] Kirkman, see what he says to that.' I mean, we're really largely just joking around.

“But stranger things have been done, and I do love the theatre… It's about, how do you confine it to something? Because it's just so much story. So it would really be, how do you confine it to a good two-or-three-hour play?"

With so many properties being adapted into Broadway musicals these days, it wouldn’t surprise me to one day see The Walking Dead musical hit Broadway with dancing zombies and everything!
