It was a delightful tongue in cheek choreographed musical performed by teenagers. It is for those who want to have a titillatingly different, high energy, fun, and giggles with the audience participation of the likes of Rocky Horror Show, the dance numbers of Michael Jackson and the driving music-the likes of Queen 'We will rock you" Other numbers include Sting and Simon and Garfunkel. For all ages who love taking life's sillier moments to heart. Experience it or miss a breakout-smile of a performance this summer. The band was so right on!Written on Aug 18 2010

This was an excellent production. The quality of voices ranged from very good to satisfactory. The energy of the actors was excellent and I sensed that they all enjoyed being a part of the company. The original script was good and the audience participation was a bonus. I thought this was a good play for younger audiences but I questioned the appropriateness of a couple of scenes - questioning the existence of a supreme being and some subtle reference to procreation.Written on Aug 24 2010
Overall I rate this play as 3 1/2 - 4 stars out of 5.
I did enjoy it.

I took 3 boys, all age 12, thinking "zombies, great music, great story line, will they like it?" and it turned out it was an outstanding success.Written on Aug 19 2010
they ranked the play, 10,9,10 and I gave it a 10 as well. The fast paced and high energy of the actors was incredible...and a well done script to boot. As others have written, it was a great venue from very young to old. Berkeley Playhouse...keep coming up with these great plays and you'll be a long time success. We've been to two so far, and we are mighty impressed!

Description
In a future where both theatre and zombies are exiled fro Earth, Planet "Z" has become a home not only for the flesh-eating zombies but for all the old cast off musical sets. A spaceship crashes on Planet “Z," and when a space-teen and zombie fall in love, the interplanetary implications can only be imagined – or beautifully told with '80s rock!
Don’t miss this zany, highly original, sci-fi rock musical written and directed by Jon Tracy. Featuring all your favorite hits from the '80s including Michael Jackson, Iggy Pop, Madonna and Pat Benatar, Planet “Z” is where The Forbidden Planet meets Rocky Horror Picture Show to discuss Twilight – we're just saying – you’ve never seen anything like this musical before!
Written and Directed by Jon Tracy
Music Direction by Phil Gorman
Choreography by Kimberly Dooley
