Boobs of the Dead Returns to Gorilla Tango Theater This October

Sep 30, 2013

The Chicago area Gorilla Tango Theater is bringing their hit burlesque show, Boobs of the Dead, back to their Bucktown location during the month of October and on through the end of 2013. Boobs of the Dead is inspired by AMC’s The Walking Dead (as well as the Image comic) and will once again bring plenty of zing to the zombie genre. There’s plenty of other geek culture based burlesque goodness too all month long as Gorilla Tango continues their takes on Doctor Who, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and everyone’s favorite caped crusader as well.

More about Boobs of the Dead from GTT:

Soft, eerie moans. The relentless approach of shuffling footsteps. And glitter. So. Much. Glitter.

Just in time for Halloween, Gorilla Tango Burlesque is proud to present its Spook-tacular holiday hit, BOOBS OF THE DEAD: A WALKING DEAD BURLESQUE. BOOBS OF THE DEAD: A WALKING DEAD BURLESQUE performs Fridays at 11:59pm (October 4-December 27, 2013), Saturdays at 10:30pm (October 5-26, 2013) with a special performance on Halloween, Thursday, October 31st at 9pm at Gorilla Tango Bucktown (1919 N. Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago IL 60647). Tickets are $28-35; 18 and over only. Advance purchase highly recommended (tickets are already selling strong!) at www.gorillatango.com/zombies or by phone at 773-598-4549.

Featuring such familiar zombie-genre archetypes as Sheriff, Wife Lady, Old Dude, Best Friend and Southern Guy, this slyly satirical exhibition of reanimated flesh will appeal to any audience seeking some glittery gore for the spooky season. One doesn’t have to be a fan of the television series to recognize the sexual tension between Wife Lady and Best Friend or enjoy Sheriff’s encounter with an attractively anthropomorphic horse.
