Together, Leung and Rosenblatt have already created a short rom-com musical, The Rise and Fall of Otis, which has received multiple live presentations. As a songwriting team, Leung and Rosenblatt will also be joining forces to create a new Zoomsical for middle school students in the fall. Additionally, they co-produce and co-host a free bi-monthly concert series TIN PAN ALLEY 2 at Dixon Place, with the mission of giving emerging musical theatre writers a platform to present their new works.
