What would Grease look like with zombies?
To find out, see Vernon Secondary School’s production of Zombie Prom, at the Theatre on the Hill June 6-8 and June 13-14 at 7 p.m.
“This show celebrates everything great about musicals,” says Laurie Anne Lorge, VSS drama teacher. “It’s sweetly romantic, full of tension and the songs are upbeat and catchy.”
Zombie Prom tells the story of the rebel Jonny (yes, without an H) and his beautiful, gentle girlfriend Toffee, who chooses to see beyond his zombie exterior and love him all the same.
“I’ve loved working on this show,” said Grade 10 student Keira Gloeckler who plays Toffee. “The campy characters are so much fun to perform.”
Other central characters include the dramatic, secret-keeping principal Delilah Strict (portrayed by the renowned RuPaul Charles in the 2006 film) who refuses Jonny entry to the prom, and the smooth-talking reporter Eddie Flagrante. Funny and larger than life, Zombie Prom unlocks the lovesick teenager in all of us – and remains a cult classic.
Tickets are $15 available at Ticketseller or at the door.
