Musical of the Living Dead presented by Cowardly Scarecrow at Stage 773

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Like the zombies who populate it, this musical spoof of the George Romero horror classic is asking for a hatchet. Through two-plus hours of frenetic foolishness and scattershot scatology, cocreators Marc Lewallen and Brad Younts never offer a clear target for their satire. Sometimes it's the creaky contrivances of Romero's film, or the hokeyness of musical theater, or the ill-informed assumptions of workaday racists, or gay men's love of belting divas."

Stage and Cinema - Not Recommended

"...A thrill ride should be much shorter and sharper than this indulgent frat-show tripe with its forgettable songs (borrowing shamelessly from Les Miserables, Green Day or Gershwin) and tortured lyrics. But then two beers per act do make a difference—unfortunately, not in the show itself. If you need an excuse to booze through a play, this is your Shangri La."
