Bill Hinzman To Attend Musical of the Living Dead 10/14, 10/15

Bill Hinzman, the original ghoul in the graveyard from George Romero's 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead, will be making an appearance during opening weekend of Musical of the Living Dead - October 14th and 15th. Audience members will be treated to a post-show Q and A with Mr. Hinzman, who will also be signing autographs following the show.

Recently voted "Best New Play" in the Chicago Reader, Musical of the Living Dead is coming back for a second bloody year! Billed as a "Musical Zom-com" (zombie comedy), Musical of the Living Dead is parody of classic zombie films and traditional musical theatre. Featuring all original music inspired by everything from Gershwin to Green Day, Musical of the Living Dead follows the lives of ten very different people trapped in a farmhouse during the outbreak of a zombie apocalypse - all brought together seeking refuge from the brain-eating zombies.
Musical of the Living Dead features several sequences of comic carnage. This year the cast will be bloodier...the first few rows of the audience will be bloodier...and everyone will have a bloody good time!
