Zombies on Broadway is the second studio album by American rock pianist Andrew McMahon, under the moniker Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. During a break touring to support his self-titled debut album, McMahon wrote new material with Gregg Wattenberg and Derek Fuhrmann. He began recording the album between May and September 2016 with a variety of producers in Los Angeles, New York City, and London. Described as a pop and pop rock album, several reviewers compared its sound to the band Fun.

Preceded by the release of five singles—"Fire Escape" in September 2016, "Brooklyn, You're Killing Me" in November, "Walking in My Sleep" in December, "So Close" and "Don't Speak for Me (True)" in January 2017—Vanguard Records released Zombies on Broadway on February 10, 2017. It was met with a favorable reaction from music critics, many of whom commented on its melodies. Zombies on Broadway charted at number 43 on the US Billboard 200, and charted highly on the Alternative and Digital album charts. "Fire Escape" and "So Close" appeared on various Billboard charts. The album was promoted by the US Zombies in America tour, a UK tour, and supporting shows for Billy Joel.
