BWW:UK has had EXCLUSIVE access to the rehearsals of Zombie Prom, getting its UK premiere at the Landor Theatre later this month - and here's your first glimpse of the cast in action.
Keep an eye out over the next few days for video footage and interviews with the cast and creative team.
Set in the fabulous Fifties, Zombie Prom tells the tale of sweet teenage girl Toffee, and her "rebel without a cause" boyfriend, Jonny. The two meet at Enrico Fermi High School and fall in love, but the tyrannical principal, Miss Strict intervenes, persuading young Toffee to break up with Jonny. Tortured by the betrayal, Jonny drives his motorcycle to the nearby Nuclear Power Plant and flings himself into a nuclear cooling tower. Toffee mourns the loss of her love, until Jonny returns, risen from the dead - as a teenage nuclear zombie! Will Toffee take Jonny back now that he’s a corpse? Will Miss Strict let Jonny finish school? Will the Senior Prom be cancelled? Find out in the UK Premiere of the Off-Broadway musical Zombie Prom, a campy, rollicking, romp through America's Atomic Age from the writers of The Witches Of Eastwick and The Fix.
The cast includes Simon Cole as Eddie Flagrante, Sophie Isaacs and Jonathan Vickers as the young lovers, and an ensembles comprising Lucy Barker, Ross Aldred, Ben Baker, Darren John, Tiffany Jones and Katie Lowe.
