A city near me is has a summer youth Musical each year and this year they are doin Zombie Prom. I've never really heard of this, but I bet it's a rock musical. What's it about? What are parts for guys?????? Fill me in......

It's sort of a 1950's horror flick spoof. Basically a high school guy dies and returns as a Zombie. As for male parts, there are three or four "high school" guy parts and then I think there's an older male teacher.

I saw a high school do a low budget version, and it was AWESOME. Really funny script, and really catchy music. It can be a pretty big cast, depending on how many "ensemble" type characters the director chooses to have. I would say definitely go try out. It's GREAT! And I'm guessing that if it's a summer musical program, you would have more funds than the school that did (we're talking under $500), and that could only make it better as far as makeup, costumes, set and the number of musicians you have (they had only a piano). It's a good one, for sure.

I love the cast recording, it's strangely addicting.

love, love, LOVE Zombie Prom! It's another "let's-make-fun-of-the-50's" in the vein of Grease, but it's so much fun! The big male parts are Jon (without an H!) who's girlfriends tears brought him back from the dead. Think of the movie "My Boyfriend's Back" (am I the only one who's seen this?) and the other big male part is Eddie Flagrante, the slightly sleezey news reporter who helps Jonny.

FYI, Kristin Chenoweth was the original Toffee
