"The 1996 Japanese sci-fi/survival/horror video game Resident Evil, which has since branched out into multiple games and a live-action movie with four sequels, is finally coming to the stage in a musical that is scheduled to open this fall in Tokyo, according to Kotaku.com."

I'm curious what the tone will be. Zombie Prom and Evil Dead were camp comedy. The games veer between being trapped in maze-like mansions and shooting hoards of zombies in the streets. Neither scenario lends itself well to the stage. Could a zombie story work as psychological horror on stage? Perhaps from the perspective of someone who is becoming a zombie or losing a loved one?
