Can two teens from Tombtown fend off a zombie onslaught? Will their love survive when one of them doesn’t? San Francisco’s chillingly wacky, endearingly gory pop/rock musical asks: how did these post-mortal youngsters learn to rock so hard? | ||

Loosen your belt; you’re in for a casket full of laughs. Young Zombies in Love, Emerald Rain Productions’ musical spoof of every Grade D zombie movie ever made, is a hilarious romp through the dark and light of zombiedom. You will giggle, you will cheer, you will shake your head in amazement... this leaves you grateful for the cinematic dreck from which it springs.” (more) |

This hybrid rock opera is actually a postmodern morality play of blood-curdling hilarity." | ||
—Ching Chang, SFgate.com |

Emerald Rain’s new rock musical Young Zombies in Love is a lot deeper than it first appears. Under the frothy songs and teenagers-in-love fighting-the-zombie-menace pyrotechnics, there’s a lot going on – about dependency in relationships, addiction, and the willing blindness that manifests in groups... As a parable of teen angst, this play is right on the money.” |
