KCC Theatre professor and “Zombie Prom” director Brad Poer called the musical “a 1950s teen drama/horror comic brought to life as a musical comedy film” and “a campy, rollicking romp through America’s Atomic Age and the Golden Age of horror comic books.”
The plot revolves around a sweet teenage girl named Toffee and her rebellious boyfriend Jonny, who drives his motorcycle into a nuclear cooling tower after Toffee breaks up with him. Toffee is guilt ridden and alone until Jonny returns, risen from the dead – as a teenage nuclear zombie with plans to take her to the prom.
The musical opened Off-Broadway in the mid-1990s and was later adapted into a short film.
