Rex Theater Presents MUSICAL OF THE LIVING DEAD, 5/4-5

Chicago's "Best New Play", Musical of the Living Dead is spreading its infectious "Musical Zom-com" (zombie comedy) to the historic Rex Theater. Musical of the Living Dead is an original musical parody of classic zombie films and musical theatre.  Featuring 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 breakout of a zombie apocalypse – all brought together seeking refuge from a ravenous horde of brain-eating (and dancing) zombies.

Musical of the Living Dead is heavy on both laughs and blood. Guts and gore spray into the first few rows of the audience.
