About Abigail & Shaun Bengson are... ZOMBIE NATIONALISTS
"(Abigail Nessen has)…not only a tremendous musical talent, but also a raw honesty and sincere righteousness."
- New York Times..
“(Abigail Nessen Bengson and Shaun McClain Bengson) are friendly, fresh-faced and downright enchanting... audiences are bound to sit up and take notice.”
- Addison Independent
The husband/wife duo of Shaun McClain Bengson and Abigail Nessen Bengson (Shaun & Abigail Zombie) form the core of the Zombie Nationalists. As the Zombies tour around, various regional members join in the fun. Steff Zee Zombie, the third founding member and vocalist of the Zombie Nationalists, leads the charge in NYC, alongside Ray Ray Zombie. In the midwest, the Fort Zombies (Douglas Sod Zombie, Bjart Zombjie, and Eric McZombie) team up. Zombie Nationalists West Coast (Simon Zombie, Benji Zombie, David Zombie, authors and performers of Rots of Rove) holds down the Western Seaboard with artwork, tunes, and rotting support. Special other members of the Zombie support team include Alex Velociraptor Clark & Scott Alexander.
Shaun & Abigail Zombie perform in a variety of mediums. They are Off-Broadway performers whose original musicals (The Magic Show: The Story of the Barefoot Angels & Ain't That Good News) demonstrate the possibility and urgent need for social change and have appeared in theaters across the country. They are rock musicians who perform electronic-infused music in rock venues in NYC, the North East and the Midwest. They are folk musicians, who perform in festivals and community venues across the country. And they are activists and teachers, who have taught students in NYC's public schools, worked with gang children in El Salvadore, and worked with immigrants in Massachusetts.
Currently Shaun & Abigail are touring around the nation performing musicals and putting on rock shows and folk concerts. They have been invited to perform in South Africa in the Summer '09 as ambassadorial representatives of the new generation of American artists and are currently intensely fund raising.

Salutations and spider web waltzes from Portugal! And I haven..t sent you a script yet because it..s in rewrite, a longer rewrite than i..d imagined. Don..t think yer input has been dismissed. It..s just been missed. Or dissed. Or kissed. Right-o, yup yup. Adeus.
An amazing night of theater. A rooftop overlooking the City with fireworks at the end. Seemed a fitting end to what was one incredible bit of theatrical excellence. Characters that morphed from one to another with ease, great songs, intense human stories told in a really compelling way with authenticity and real emotion. This piece, "The Magic Show", should be seen by literally EVERYONE. It is just that. Magic. Good luck in Africa! Bridget and I hope to see you perform again soon.
