Get a sneak listen to the score below, as Nick Rashad Burroughs (Tina, Moulin Rouge!) performs "Last Stop."
With a book and score by Canfield, the musical follows Shelly Dinkley, a gutsy news reporter who believes zombies are terrorizing her small town. After she is saved from an attack by a zombie who calls himself Zombie6, sparks start to fly between the two as Eve discovers there's more to this decaying hero than just his rotting limbs.
The limited engagement also has lighting design by Tyler Micoleau and musical arrangements by Taylor Peckman. The general manager is LDK Productions. ALIVE! is executive-produced by Lisa Dozier Shacket and co-produced by Barbara Chubb.
Show times are October 8 at 8:30 PM, October 9 at 7 PM and 9 PM, and October 15-16 at 7 PM and 9 PM. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased by visiting AlivetheZombieMusical.com.
