"
Zombie Prom is a funny musical mashup of
Grease and
Little Shop of Horrors. While it's a slight musical that's nowhere near as successful as either of those well-known shows, it's chock-full of familiar 1950s characters and situations, with some witty dialogue and lyrics. Actor's Youth Theatre is currently presenting a charming production of this silly, spooky, and fun show just in time for Halloween....John Dempsey's book and lyrics include some very funny lines that tie into the 1950s setting, the atomic age, and the topic of zombies, and the music by Dana P. Rowe is bright and lively. The Actor's Youth Theatre cast all seem to be having a blast playing these period characters....Connor Olden and Iris Van Slyke are affable and endearing as Jonny and Toffee, and Andrew Wildermuth is a hoot as the zany tabloid reporter. Noelle Parent has appeared in dozens of shows in town and here she delivers another exceptional performance, with expert line delivery and warm singing vocals...Director Xelha Castrejob is successful in deriving solid performances from the large cast. Djuro Baich's period choreography is peppy, varied, and fun. There is even some tap in one number that shines.
Zombie Prom is a musical on the lighter side, with an almost entirely predictable plot, but it's still a fun, quick, witty, and quirky show that delivers laughs."
