“Iscariot: The Musical' includes musical genres like EDM, folk and pop rock. It tackles themes of race, sexuality and class, and the ideas of pariahs, messiahs and betrayals – all prismed through the context of present-day high school:
It’s a tale as old as time. A high schooler develops a crush and compromises their integrity for a shot at validation and love. The main character is Judas, and Jesus is the subject of desire.“Denizens of Holy High, we are here to celebrate the architect of our adoration,” Judas shouts from the stage under the HOLLYWOOD sign.
“I’m calling it a heretical gaysian love story. Gaysian being a portmantau of gay and Asian,” Kim explained. “Basically it's about Judas Iscariot. And he's re-imagined as this queer Asian-American high school senior in a glitzy high school in Los Angeles.” Kim said there’s not a lot of options when it comes to stories of Asian people represented in the musical medium. There’s basically two.
“I really wanted to have this huge production that takes a lot of space and has a really huge ensemble cast, that's very diverse in order to see that these things can exist and should be viewed,” Kim said.
