Zombie Joe's Presents: A Thanksgiving Delight Unlike Any Other!
Thanksgiving: a time when families gather around a grand feast, expressing gratitude, watching parades, and... attending musicals about turkeys?! Yes, you read that right! Let me let you in on a secret for those who fancy a non-traditional twist to their turkey day: Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre Group is offering up a unique Thanksgiving experience that's simply not to be missed!
Most of us are used to the usual Thanksgiving traditions - the turkey, the pies, the football games. But events centered around this holiday are honestly hard to come by. Especially if you're someone who wants to break the mold and try something new. That's why I was thrilled to hear about Zombie Joe’s latest production, TURKEYS! The Musical. This isn't just another turkey on your table, it's a musical-comedy about a village of turkeys navigating the week leading up to Thanksgiving. From romance to outright terror, the big question looms: Can these singing turkeys handle the *real* truth about Thanksgiving?
Penned by the brilliant Ian Michaels and directed by the talented Elena Nicorici, this musical promises humor, heart, and a touch of the unexpected. And with a cast as impressive as David Dickens, Elise Walters, Holly Anne Mitchell, and many others, it’s bound to be a fantastic time.
Now, let’s talk reviews. Words like “perfect Thanksgiving musical” and “a funny, bawdy, and truly profane gem” have been thrown around, and honestly, “Cock-a-doodle damn!” might just be my favorite piece of praise.
The show is set to run on weekends from November 17 – December 2, 2023 and tickets are flying off the shelf. Grab yours at ZombieJoes.Tix.com for $20 in advance, or $25 if you're feeling spontaneous and snagging them at the door.
It's a refreshing take, and if you're as big of a fan of Zombie Joe’s as I am, you know they deliver top-tier, community-based shows. So why not bring a twist to your Thanksgiving this year? Dive into a tale of musical turkeys and maybe discover a new tradition along the way.
