Las Vegas is a hub for the most unusual and entertaining shows that you will find nowhere else in the world. And with the comedy musical, The Zombie Burlesque Show, Vegas once again re-establishes itself as a home for everything weird, eccentric, and wildly enjoyable.
The Zombie Burlesque Vegas show has hilarious, flesh-eating, undead monsters at the raunchiest zombie shows in Vegas.
What is Zombie Burlesque?
The Zombie Burlesque is a risquƩ adult comedy burlesque show, set in the Atomic 50s, that features several undead, sexy zombies performing comedy, variety acts, musical numbers, and dance routines for your entertainment.
The back story of the show is quite interesting in itself. It is 1958, and zombies have taken over the world. To allow the dead and undead population to coexist peacefully, the zombies have been promised human prisoners in return for their cooperation. As an act of good faith, in reciprocation, humans have been allowed into Club Z, a risque zombie adult club, to witness the sexiest side of these monsters.
The genre of the show can be described as horror-erotic since it combines themes of death and desire. Sex and death have always been subjects of intrigue for human civilization, and the Zombie Burlesque mixes both to create hilarious and erotic strip comedy sketches with music in the mix.
What to Expect
At the Zombie Burlesque, you can expect over-the-top costumes and loud makeup that transform performers into these amazing larger-than-life characters. There is lots of glitter and glam, many props and contraptions, and⦠a lot of fake blood.
A live band adds energy to the dancing numbers, and there are also feats of balance and strength that the cityās most talented artists carry out. The show is brimming with references to the most famous horror movies of the 40s, 50s, and 60s for that rush of nostalgia for horror lovers.
If you are planning on enjoying the show from seats closer to the stage, remember that the show is interactive and you may well be invited to participate in some of the performances. One act invites an audience member to be ātaken captive.ā
If you are uncomfortable with being called out, either take a back seat or donāt volunteer answers when questions are asked.
Whatever you decide, expect to be entertained to the fullest!
Despite its morbid theme, the Zombie Burlesque is actually a celebration of life. The message that the performances put out is to enjoy life as much as you can while you are still breathing.
Who Will Enjoy It?
If you donāt mind crude humor and take pleasure in musical performances, you will enjoy the show. Even if you have not been to a burlesque show before, the rave reviews from audiences are enough to convince us that it can be just your kind of thing!
Cast
The award winning cast is full of interesting, gory characters that are caricatures of their namesake monsters. The lead actor is Enoch Augustus Scott who plays Zenoch, but there is a substitute actor in place since the show is very popular and takes place every night.
All performers are professional actors, trained singers, and skilled dancers. Their brilliant individual characteristics combined contribute to the success of the show. With zombie-themed names like Sophia LaMorte, Elizabeth Terror, Ricardo Notembalmed, Sandra Dee-Composing, Grace Killer, and Scary Grant amongst others, the larger-than-life zombies have strong personalities that are more than one dimensional.
Other names that star in The V Theaterās Zombie Burlesque include April Anneberg, Steve Daly (as Tiny Bubbles), Jacinthe Moriarty, Alejandro Domino, and Elyse Corbin amongst others.
Location
The show takes place at the V Theatre inside Miracle Mile Shops at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
Seating
Since the show is fairly new in the Vegas burlesque world, it is performed in one venue for a limited audience. The newly-renovated V Theatre is quite small in size, seating 200 people at a given time. This makes the show very intimate for those attending and encourages person-to-person contact.
The first ten rows are the VIP seats that give you a better view of the stage and also give you a chance to participate in the performances. Since these tickets cost only slightly more compared to the General Admission seats, they make a good value-for-money investment.
