GENE SIMMONS Talks About 'Kiss: Carnival Of Souls' Musical Theatre Show; Video Available

August 19, 2009

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons spoke to ChannelNewsAsia.com last week about his latest project, "Kiss: Carnival of Souls", a musical theatre show produced in collaboration with Singapore company Storm Lion.

"Kiss: Carnival of Souls" is the brainchild between Simmons and fellow KISS bandmate Paul Stanley, and is based on a song of the same title that Simmons wrote.

Describing it as a "visual, aural extravaganza and a cross between Cirque De Soleil, a live KISS concert, combined with special effects," Simmons said the show will be based in Las Vegas, with plans to tour around the world. While it is a KISS-inspired show, the band will not be appearing in it.

"What KISS, the band, usually does is put on big rock extravaganzas. But 'Kiss: Carnival of Souls' is actually going to have a storyline - although not a lot of talking.

"You are going to be seeing a basic story premise that takes place in four chapters. It will be presented visually and it involves a journey through the imagination, that’s visually way over the top," explained Simmons when asked if the production was going to differ from what KISS usually does.

The entire interview is available in text and video format at ChannelNewsAsia.com.
