One of the wishes was also sent to Laufer by his long-time friend Zdeněk Hrubý, with whom he created the successful musical Treasure Island for the Broadway Theatre. “I sent him a message, partly spoken and partly sung,” he said, noting that the content was mainly about their work together. “We were completely sold out since the premiere in March. People were excited, it turned out very well. It’s a shame that Pepík didn’t experience and see it, I gave him a message with this message,” explained TN.cz.
The musical was completed just before Laufer was hospitalized. Hrubý is the author of the theme and music for the musical Treasure Island, Laufer wrote the script and song lyrics.
