ROMERO & JULIET WORLD PREMIERE SET IN PITT

Zombies! Shakespeare! 80s Inspired Music! Shakespeare's timeless tale of star-crossed lovers is fused with the zombie lore of Pittsburgh's own George Romero, drawing stylistic inspiration from cult faves like LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. When Romero, a regional guardsman and distant relative of the filmmaker, meets zombie Juliet at a music festival called Deadstock in Verona, Pennsylvania on Friday the 13th in September 1985, what could possibly go wrong? The show's original score by Broadway vets Scott Logsdon and Aaron Gandy is inspired by 1980s pop legends including Madonna, Michael Jackson, Bon Jovi, George Michael, Boy George, and more.
