ROMERO & JULIET takes place on September, Friday the 13th, 1985. Zombies are trying to go mainstream and find acceptance. They despise the filmmaker George Romero for revealing their existence. Public sentiment is running high against Zombies. When Regional Guardsman Romero George (a distant relative of the filmmaker) meets Juliet (a Zombie) at a music festival called Deadstock, what could possibly go wrong?

This new musical blends Shakespeare's classic tragedy, ROMEO & JULIET with elements of George Romero's classic zombie film "Night of the Living Dead," and features an all new 80s score inspired by Madonna, Bon Jovi, Heart, Laura Brannigan, George Michael, Boy George, Blondie and more.

The show features book and lyrics by Scott Logsdon and music by Aaron Gandy, the writers of the musical THE CRINOLYNNS.
