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?

They start you off in a long line, then they bring you up around their bar to purchase over priced basic drinks while you wait for your section to be seated. The show itself was nothing fancy. It was a very basic show that you could see at your hometown theatre (besides a bit of extra skin being shown). If you are looking for a vegas show, I would not recommend this one.
Very funny..excellent show. The performers were very professional and were good. This show is not for kids. They should not allow kids in the show. Kids were present. Parents should not take them to see this show. I loved it.....
So...we purchased our tickets via Ticketmaster as we often do..yet at this show the Ticketmaster tickets needed to be further exchanged for "their own" tickets. This means a line before the line to enter the show....all to just sit in the exact same seats. There were a large number of fellow customers yelling in anger at the staff for this reason. It also caused a lot people to be late, thus further interrupting the show. The show itself.....Ok, so we're not homophobes and enjoy a little gay humor. But they should have let us know that nearly then entire show was about a gay zombie coming out and becoming flamboyantly gay by then end. This was the main focus of the show and everything else centered around it. Had we know this we would have chosen something else...like Absinthe.....now that was a funny, entertaining show. Wrong in every sense...but that made it funny. One girl had a wonderful voice and the burlesque was what you'd expect to see in the 1950's...just as the show promised. The performers seemed a little burned out...merely going through the motions of the dance routines without any real gusto..or the ability to fake it very well. Overall we'd like to see this show replaced with something better or rewrite the show entirely to make it more entertaining. Most people with whom we spoke after the show and later in the casino / hotel also spoke of the same disappointments concerning this show. Our advice....Don't waste your money on this one.
The show was just OK. The songs were cute, but the overall production value was just OK. The girls and boys show a little skin, but this is more like local theater than like a Las Vegas Show. I think if you're really into Zombies, you may find some of it worth a chuckle, but overall, the show is really basic.
Entertaining and lively great value for the money. Performers were super.
Great performance with lots of energy. They also had great audience participation.
We bought these tickets mainly because of the name. It turned out to be fabulous. It was camp, professional, and enjoyable. The dancing was great, the songs good, and the event just a trip. I would definitely go again.
