Zombie Burlesque

The setup for Zombie Burlesque is simple: It’s 1958 in America’s Atomic Era, and the President has cut a deal with zombie invaders to allow the living and the dead to live among each other. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, zombies have their own cultural rites and impulses too, and the show brings zombie stars like Scary Grant, Elizabeth Terror and Audrey Hellborn to the stage for a sexy cabaret-style musical revue that features dancing, singing and comedy — plus magic, contortionism and dizzying acrobatics. The V Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino’s Miracle Mile Mall turns into “Club Z,” where a cast of zombies welcomes a human audience for a show about life and death and everything in between. The show borrows themes from classic mid-century horror films and expresses them through ravishing Vegas burlesque with a live big band revving the party atop the split stage (and a lot of fake blood). Audience participation brings an interactive element to every show — for anyone looking for a good time, Zombie Burlesque is a uniquely unforgettable thing to do in Las Vegas.
