ROMERO & JULIET: A New Zombie Rock Musical

Zombies! Shakespeare! 1980s inspired music! All of these elements are the foundation for the new rock musical, ROMERO & JULIET.

Romero, a human, falls for Juliet, a zombie, during a music festival called Deadstock on Friday the 13 th in September 1985. Romance, comedy, horror, and tragedy ensue. The show is set in Verona, PA- not far from where George Romero’s class film “Night of the Living Dead” was filmed, and not far from where the concert will be presented.
​
ROMERO & JULIET features an original score inspired by eighties pop music icons Madonna, Bon Jovi, George Michael, Boy George, Jim Steinman and others. It is described as being in the same vein as LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.

Broadway and television star Allison Guinn from the Emmy winning comedies “Only Murders In the Building” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and Broadway’s ON THE TOWN, HAIR, and TAMMY FAYE will be making a guest appearance as the Nurse in a cast packed with other Broadway/Pittsburgh stars and exciting new talent from SWPA.

The show features a book and lyrics by award-winning actor and Laurel Highlands native Scott Logsdon and composer Aaron Gandy. Their musical THE CRINOLYNNS was seen at SVC in September 2023.
