About the show

Paul, a regular, average guy and avid disliker of musicals, is met with his worst nightmare when a meteoroid crashes into the town of Hatchetfield, Michigan, bringing with it a virus that begins to turn the town into singing, dancing zombies. This delightfully absurd show is a parody of 80s B-horror and modern musical theatre, bringing cheesy gore, absurdist humor, and plenty of singing and dancing together into one hilarious show.

Please note: This production contains extreme foul language, theatrical firearms, blood/gore, and fog.
