Northwestern’s first musical of the semester, “Zombie Prom,” is set to premiere Oct. 6.

Crew members construct the set Sept. 15 for the upcoming musical “Zombie Prom” in Herod Hall.


“Zombie Prom” tells the story of two high school students who fall in love, but because they are not allowed to see each other, they have to break up.


The break-up causes a whirlwind of surprises and cliffhangers for the audience.


The cast and crew’s work has been paying off as the production is coming along, directors said.

Dr. Karsten Longhurst, the university’s director of choral studies, and Mickey Jordan, director of technical theater, said they are excited to highlight their talented students after coming off an excellent production of “Music Man.”


“All the students have been incredible to work with,” Jordan said.


The musical will be showing Oct. 6 and 7 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. in the Herod Hall auditorium.
Tickets are available at the door or online. Tickets cost $12 for general admission. Tickets for employees cost $10 and $5 for students with an up-to-date ID.
