Summary
A dark romantic comedy about people who live and die alone, and the unexpected connections that prove no story exists alone.
Origin & Development
Created by Jonathan Larson Award-winning writer and composer Hyeyoung Kim (book and music) with lyricist Shoshana Greenberg, the musical has been developed in New York. It was first presented as a pre-premiere in New York Theatre Barn's New Works Series at the Cell on April 16, 2018, directed by Devanand Janki. It was followed by a student workshop at Emerson College in Boston in 2019, a closed reading through a Drama Club Productions residency at Ripley-Grier Studios in New York in April 2025, and an industry reading at NoFlex in New York on October 20, 2025, directed by Joe Barros, for which Greenberg extensively rewrote the lyrics.
Set in the fictional No-Name City, the story follows Y, a decedent property agent who secretly keeps one object from each person who died alone, and X, an isolated novelist, while three ghosts named for how they died return to reclaim their belongings. The score is pop-rock, written for a seven-person cast and a five-piece band.
In October 2026 it was one of eight new Korean musicals presented at K-Musical Pitching on Broadway in New York, organized by the Korea Arts Management Service.
Partial Synopsis
A man who cleans up what the dead leave behind crosses paths with an isolated novelist struggling to write her book, while three lingering ghosts try to move on. As their stories intertwine, the musical asks how well we truly know one another, and what remains when we are gone.

Official English titles in this database are extracted only from primary sources. These include:
-
materials released by the production company, credited creative team, or venue, including their official pages on social media, YouTube, and similar platforms;
-
official English listings on ticketing sites;
-
official industry events such as the K-Musical Market;
-
interviews in which a creative team member clearly gives the English title.
English titles that appear only in translations by others, such as news articles, reviews, or fan materials, are not included as official titles. When no primary-source English title exists, the title is recorded as a literal translation and labeled on the left as either “Unofficial Third Party Usage Confirmed” or “No English Title Found,” depending on whether an English title has appeared in the media or elsewhere.
“Captured” is the date the screenshot was taken. “Accessed” is the date the search for an English title was last carried out. English titles may change when a production revises them for a later staging. Entries are updated to the most recent official title where possible, though updates may lag behind such changes.
Some source pages have been observed to change or disappear over time, so screenshots are kept here at a reduced but legible resolution. They serve only to document the title as it appeared on the date shown. Clicking an image opens its original source page. All rights to the captured material remain with their respective owners. Inclusion does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by any rights holder.
