About the Show:
Mix together the best of Little Shop of Horrors, Grease and Bat Boy, and you get Zombie Prom, the new Off-Broadway musical that has audiences rolling in the aisles. Set in the nuclear 1950s, it’s just another day for the students at Enrico Fermi High until Jonny Warner, distraught after being rejected by his sweetheart Taffy, hurls himself into the local nuclear reactor. But when Jonny reappears as a nuclear zombie, the tyrannical principal Miss Strict threatens to cancel the prom rather than let him back into the school. A tragic tale of terror that will have you singing!

“A blast.... Slick fun for the whole nuclear family… If you like Grease ... you [will] love Zombie Prom.” - N.Y. Daily News.
