Musical of the Living Dead returns to Stage 773 for one final run before crawling back into the grave. This will be the last chance to see the multi-award winning original Chicago production and Chicago's Best Musical (The Chicago Reader).

For five years the splatter-tastic Musical of the Living Dead has taken audiences on a rip-roaring journey beyond the grave with its satirical send-ups of classic zombie films and musical theater. The curtain opens on 10 survivors of a recent zombie apocalypse, trapped in a farmhouse and willing to try anything to escape.

Writers Marc Lewallen and Brad Younts gleefully fulfill horror-film conventions in creating the melee of the zombie apocalypse as this cast of memorable characters seeks refuge from a ravenous horde of brain-eating (and dancing) zombies.

The zombies and humans alike all take part in the memorable show tunes, original songs by Mary Spray inspired from such disparate sources as George Gershwin and Green Day - complete with bloody tap dancing, power ballads and street-smart rapping zombies.

Musical of the Living Dead is a 4D experience, so those intrepid souls who plan to sit in the front rows should be prepared for the Splatter Zone, as the stage's invisible fourth wall may prove porous to the nearly 10 gallons of blood and flying bits of brain as we watch this hysterical, hummable zombie doomsday unfold.
