(Keene, NH) – MoCo Arts High School Musical Theatre students invite the public to Pom Pom Zombies, May 7 at 7 p.m. and May 8 at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. at MoCo Arts’ black box, The Founder’s Theatre, 40 Roxbury Street, Keene, NH 03431.
It’s the 1960s, a big nuclear blast to the past! School’s out for the summer, and the teenagers of Ocean View High are ready to surf, sun, and have some fun. Their favorite hangout is Barnacle Betty’s Beach Club, which happens to be right next door to the evil Ivana Ratnik’s nuclear power plant. But, oops! Cindy Sue, the head cheerleader, accidentally gets some nuclear slime on her hot dog instead of pickle relish, and soon the beach is overrun with pom-pom wielding zombies! Her all-American boyfriend, the beatniks, the nerds, and the tough girl gang named the Barracudas rally their forces to save the beach from the atomic attackers. A sci-fi spoof of those beach blanket flicks of the ’60s, the score explodes with hilarious hits like ‘School’s Out,’ ‘Don’t Touch the Hair,’ ‘It’s Cool to Be a Nerd,’ ‘My Girlfriend’s Dead (And I’m Gonna Be in Trouble),’ ‘Voo-Doo Shoo-Be-Doo’ and the dance craze, ‘Doin’ the Zombie.’
A true “blast to the past”, over half of MoCo’s High School Musical Theatre’s cast members performed Pom Pom Zombies back in 2015 as Elementary School Theatre students. Seven years later, as friends in High School, the cast has the opportunity to take their friendships and advanced theatre knowledge into play when putting on this performance, not only will the cast have a blast, but so will the audiences!
