“Musical of the Living Dead ranks amongst the best shows that I have ever seen. Filled with raunchy humor, catchy tunes, and enough fake blood to stock several Halloween haunted houses...a completely original experience.”
“Musical of the Living Dead features one of the best ensembles that I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch perform. Each player is a master comedian and musical performer. Imagine a highly sexualized cast of the Carol Burnett Show singing barbershop, R&B, and old-timey dancehall numbers while bludgeoning zombies in the head and you have a close approximation. They were perfect. Just like this production.”

“Musical of the Living Dead strikes a nice balance between the all-out gore fest of today’s zombie films and the over-the-top drama of musical theatre.”

“...the cast is buoyant, smart, and talented, supplying a sly, funny show...”

“...come to see the blood and guts, profanity, repugnance and characters who rival guests on the ‘Jerry Springer Show’.”
-CenterstageChicago.com
“...it takes the audience to uncanny, unexpected places.”
“...Spray and Mehawich’s musical arrangements reveal startling sophistication.”
“Musical of the Living Dead lies just inches from being a musical comedy that could be juxtaposed with, quote, legitimate theater, unquote.”

“The new must-see zombie-themed production in the city.”
