Night of the Living Dead! the Musical!

See it if you enjoy the "zombie" genre and are interested in loving homage, cleverly done and on the cheap. Knowledge of the film is helpful.

Don't see it if you dislike the zombie motif, or are expecting anything with the gore and suspense of the film. This is pure camp, ad exceedingly silly.

Also Night of the Living Dead! The Muscial!
Outside Theatre Row, there wasn't even a poster, or sign that this was playing, which is a shame as I feel it would have attracted a lot of walk up ticket sales. It is every bit as silly, stupid and entertaining as you would expect it to be. Jordan Wolfe (Tom/Dan the Science Man) penned the book and lyrics as well. Again, silliness is the order of the day, with a side order of raunch and a definite WTF factor. But that's the charm of the show. The cast is wonderful, the verses well sung and the entire production, in a very intimate theatre, is done...well...economically. At 80 minutes including an intermission, I would love to see it "fleshed" out, as it could become a camp classic.
Jaime Cepero, Meg Lanzarone, Susan J. Jacks, Michael Buchanan and Michelle Dowdy all play multiple roles (some completely unexpected). There is a CD available which I highly recommend, although some songs from the show don't make it to the disc.... Read more Read less

See it if you want to laugh at a silly but very funny and entertaining musical parody. This was lots of fun, not to be taken seriously in the least.

Don't see it if If you want high brow humor or lavish musical numbers.

See it if You were a fan of the original movie and would enjoy a parody of it. A little over-the-top slapstick and a lot of fun. Great dancing.

Don't see it if If you don't enjoy silly parody and slapstick, or are not a fan of musicals in general. Escapism, nothing serious here.

See it if you enjoy campy, self-aware, musical comedies! Great singers! This show knows what it is and accomplishes what it sets out to do; entertain

Don't see it if you don't like broad comedy and parody, or shows with tracked music.

See it if You like to see the Night of the Living Dead in a new light horror/comedy. With singing and laughs.

Don't see it if want a big set and perfect show.

Also This was funny, love the "They coming to get you Barbara" like in the movie, but this becomes a whole music number. My favorite second is "Night of the Living Dead". Some of the singing is better than others. This is light and not serious, but all fun.... Read more Read less

See it if You like kitsch, broad humor, traditional show tunes all done well. A strong cast singing big songs while poking fun at everything possible.

Don't see it if You like subtlety or innovation. Mind actors playing multiple roles, show can be one note and the writer’s voice is weaker than others.

See it if You want to see a creative spoof of a campy movie with extremely creative lyrics, lots of 'tongue in cheek' and great singing. It's a hoot!

Don't see it if You want the polished Broadway experience. It's not that. No scenery, few actors playing lots of parts; lots of silliness.

See it if Cover your brains! In more ways than one. Big AND stupid. Like all of my boyfriends.

Don't see it if Avoid being bitten.Minor note:Fictional zombies don't fictionally speak.Or fictionally dance or fictionally sing.But what fun would that be?

See it if Soaring campy songs with zesty choreography and a silly story. Dirty jokes, sexually suggestive action, and bad puns. Enthusiastic.

Don't see it if You are looking for any hidden meaning. There is not even hope for a better future. Everyone becomes zombies. But being a zombie seems fun.

See it if you're looking for some camp fun. It's what you would expect—ridiculous, over-the-top, but thoroughly entertaining. Great comedic acting.

Don't see it if Songs are mixed. The title song is very catchy (hence why it is reprised twice), but many of the other songs are filler & should be reworked

See it if You want to laugh out loud, and are in the mood for some wholesome lewd behavior and decent singing

Don't see it if You want to experience something with substance, may be offended by the "action" that goes on onstage, it's highly suggestive

Also I genuinely laughed out loud in some scenes, the actors all sang well and just overacted the heck out of this, go see it for a great time!... Read more Read less

See it if Talented cast, some fun songs, well-polished and rehearsed show.

Don't see it if Plot is hard to follow; don't need an intermission for an 80 minute show. Thought there would be gore, but there isn't any. More campy.

See it if You are down for a delightful, hilarious, and FUN take on a cult classic, created and performed by some esquisitely talented performers!

Don't see it if You can’t get down with campy or will be, just, TOO jealous of this cast belting their faces off! Or you fear the imminent zombie apocalypse

See it if You love comedy, great music and a clever parody. Even better if you like the horror genre but you don’t have to.

Don't see it if You don’t want to laugh.

See it if You love catchy tunes, surprising twists, amazing singing, laughing yourself hoarse

Don't see it if You don’t enjoy being entertained by incredible performers.

See it if The show is an incredible clever satire of the horror film genre. Very witty dialogue and polished performances combine with excellent score

Don't see it if If you do not appreciate a satiric pastiche it may not be for you.

See it if Your a fan of horror musicals, love camp, love seeing fresh artists belt it out

Don't see it if You want fancy sets or great sound in your productions

Also Fans of the movie will appreciate how all of the action and tension is tightly fitted into a tiny, one set stage (the farnhouse living room), highlighting all of the classic lines ("They are coming to get you, Barbara" becomes an even bigger ear-worm than it already is!) The lyrics are exceptional and the campy pace has been set to keep constant forward momentum. The tunes can get a little repetitive, and there is zero gore (a far cry from Evil Dead The Musical!) The cast is game, with solid performances across the board and exceptional performances from Barbara and the Sheriff/Dad in Basement. The only real disappointment was, why have the bigoted sheriff show up, be nice and walk away at the end? A key element of the story was completely lost by changing the ending. If they were going to do that, they should have cut the Sheriff character all together, along with the unnecessary intermission. Go see this show for a fun diversion, and to see great talent that deserves to far.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You don't like to have fun

Also Wouldn't you have liked to see Little Shop or Rocky Horror off-broadway before they became the big cult classics they are today? Then go see Night of the Living Dead!!!! This show is so clever in its camp. It never misses a beat with any joke and is impeccably staged and acted. The set may be simple, and the theatre is small. But this shows talent, laughs and potential is huge. I don't think this run will be the last for Night of the Living Dead, but it is certainly not to be missed.... Read more Read less
