Gorilla Tango's BOOBS OF THE DEAD: A WALKING DEAD BURLESQUE Adds 3 Shows, 11/2, 16 & 23

GTT's smash zombie burlesque apocalypse hit, BOOBS OF THE DEAD: A WALKING DEAD BURLESQUE, is sticking around for a limited engagement of THREE additional performances: Fridays at 9pm, November 2, 16 and 23. Tickets are $20; www.gorillatango.com or 773-598-4549. Advance purchase HIGHLY recommended.

With its current run (Fridays at 9pm and Saturdays at 11:59pm in October with a special 9pm performance on Halloween night) nearly sold out, GTB is providing additional performances of its fantastic Walking Dead themed burlesque so even those folks who move slower than well, zombies, can check out our hot decaying babes!

You may have encountered their viral (pun intended) marketing in the form of Facebook updates from the fictional Chicago CDC which have been charting the spread of 'virus B1Z3' since early August with warnings that 'virus-carriers have been observed performing elaborate dance routines while removing sequined corsetry before committing heinous assaults on confused onlookers,' and, 'One of the greatest dangers is that the infected show no visible signs of boas, pasties or high heels for the first 6 hours of infection... while they appear perfectly normal and super sexy they remain dangerous, and citizens should watch for these subtle signs and remain at a safe distance.'

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.

Written and directed by internationally renowned fine art photographer K Leo, and with choreography by Erica Reid (the creative force behind burlesque numbers performed by some of Chicago's most well known 'classic' troupes such as Kiss Kiss Cabaret and the Belmont Burlesque Revue) this show promises to be one of the hottest tickets of Chicago's October offerings; so take our advice and get them now (before they get you!)

Written and Directed by K Leo, the show is choreographed by Erica Reid with costumes by Rafaela Valderrama.

Featuring: Paly Flames as the CDC Official, Alexis Rex as the Sheriff, Slightly Spitfire as Southern Guy, Roxi La Rue as Old Dude, Devyn DeViante as Wife Lady, Helena Handbasket as Best Friend, Duchess Daffnie as a Burlesque Zombie Alpha and Honey Cha-Cha as Burlesque Zombie Beta.
