Zombie Burlesque brings a wild twist to the classic variety show format, blending 1950s atomic-age nostalgia with undead performers who've risen from their graves to entertain. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies have taken over a showroom, this production features elaborate musical numbers backed by a live big band, slapstick comedy routines, and burlesque performances that are equal parts campy and clever. The cast delivers high-energy dance numbers with a horror-comedy aesthetic that leans into the absurdity of zombies performing classic Vegas-style entertainment.
The show at V Theater plays up the retro atomic-era vibe with vintage-inspired costumes, plenty of green makeup, and performers who've perfected the art of being both seductive and silly. The comedy throughout is broad and playful, never taking itself too seriously, while the live musicians give the production a genuine showroom feel. Between the choreographed dance numbers, audience interaction, and deliberately cheesy humor, it's the kind of show that knows exactly what it is and commits fully to the bit.
The award-winning cast moves through a mix of burlesque, comedy sketches, and musical performances that all play into the zombie theme. It's campy Vegas entertainment with a horror twist, appealing to audiences looking for something different from the typical showroom fare on the Strip.
