About Zombie Burlesque
Zombie Burlesque Live
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.
Zombie Burlesque Background
Veteran Las Vegas producer David Saxe opened his comedy-burlesque zombie musical in 2013 at the 400-seat V Theater. Inside of Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino's Miracle Mile Mall, The V Theater (which becomes "Club Z" for Zombie Burlesque) is adjacent to Saxe's eponymous Saxe Theater, where he launched the smash hit Vegas! The Show. The son of a Vegas showgirl and a Rat Pack bandleader, Saxe brought on choreographer Tiger Martina for Zombie's dance numbers, and the show has been a staple on the Strip ever since. Six nights a week, Zombie Burlesque welcomes ticket holders 16 years of age or older. Above the V Theater, the Veranda Bar with its open-air feel is a great spot for pre or post-show drinks. Bloody Mary, anyone?
The show was great. So many laughs. The actors were all outstanding. The acrobatics that some of them performed were incredible.
So so so fun! 100% worth it! Very funny and entertaining!
Definitely entertaining, Definitely creative, Definitely recommend!
Tiny theater, I expected something larger. But that just made the show more intimate and interactive. Sure, you are not getting the top entertainers in the city in this show, but they made it funny and raunchy and a great time. Yes, it's cheesy, but what would you expect?
This is the third time I have watched Zombie Burlesque and it has never failed to be entertaining and hilarious. I’ve been to many shows in Vegas and this one ranks in the top 5. The venue is small so there is virtually no bad seats.
Overall good experience, the show was entertaining and the cast was engaging.
Fabulous! Surprised how much energy the entire zombie cast provided. Loved it, will see again!
If raunchy comedy doesn't bother you, you'll love this show! It wasn't what I necessarily expected but it was hilarious and so much fun. "Mikey"was definitely my favorite and the host had everyone engaged and interactive. The jello shots were an added plus! Would definitely see again.
Laughed out loud a lot. Great job by the performers amd MC. MC shows a lot of skill interacting with audience and the women were gorgeous. Only critique would be that volume was a touch too loud for the size of the venue. Otherwise, awesome fun time.
Absolutely worth it!! Amazingly talented and funny.
