Zombie Prom is a 1950s horror comic book brought to life as a musical comedy - a rollicking, romp through America’s “Atomic Age” and the Golden Age of horror comic books. Set in the ‘50s, this is the musical tale of a sweet teenage girl named Toffee and her “rebel without a cause” boyfriend, Jonny. The two meet at Enrico Fermi High School and fall in love, but the principal (RuPaul) intervenes, persuading the indecisive young Toffee to break up with Jonny.
Tortured by the betrayal, Jonny drives his motorcycle to the nearby Francis Gary Powers Nuclear Plant and flings himself into a nuclear cooling tower. Guilt-ridden and alone, Toffee mourns the loss of her true love, until the day when Jonny returns, risen from the dead—as a teenage nuclear zombie! Adapted from the original stage musical by John Dempsey (book and lyrics) and Dana P. Rowe (music).
