Show Information
Part comedy, part burlesque, part zombie apocalypse — Zombie Burlesque at V3 Theater is the Las Vegas show that nobody saw coming and nobody forgets. The undead have never looked this good, or moved this well.
Some shows play it safe. Zombie Burlesque is not one of those shows. Nestled inside the V3 Theater at Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile Shops, this cult-favorite production tears up the rulebook on what a Las Vegas performance can be — then shambles back and tears it up again. The premise sounds like a fever dream: undead performers, sizzling burlesque numbers, rapid-fire comedy, and aerial acrobatics all sharing the same stage. Somehow, impossibly, it works. Not just as a novelty, but as a genuinely electric piece of live entertainment.
What makes Zombie Burlesque hit differently from the sea of Vegas productions is its built-in unpredictability. A heavy improvisational thread runs through every performance, meaning the cast actively responds to the crowd — your reaction shapes the room. Sit up front and you might become part of the spectacle. The performers carry a real edge of spontaneity that no polished Broadway tour can manufacture, and you feel it from the first moment the house lights drop. One minute your jaw drops at a contortion act that seems to defy human anatomy, the next you're laughing so hard at a flesh-eating one-liner that you nearly miss the performer behind it winking directly at you.
This is a show built for groups with competing appetites — the friend who wants absurdist humor, the partner who wants jaw-dropping dance, the one who just wants something they've never seen before. The comedy leans into its own ridiculousness with full commitment, the burlesque numbers land with genuine artistry, and the zombie makeup and theatrical design give the whole thing a campy, after-dark atmosphere that feels uniquely Las Vegas. It's irreverent, it's bold, and it lingers in conversation long after the curtain falls — which, in this city full of spectacular distractions, is saying something.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the zombie theme actually mix with burlesque — does one overshadow the other?
The show keeps both elements genuinely in play rather than using one as a gimmick for the other. Undead makeup and horror-comedy bits run alongside serious burlesque choreography, aerial work, and contortion numbers. The tonal balance is surprisingly committed — you're not watching a strip show with zombie window dressing, but a full production where flesh-eating jokes and skilled dance routines carry equal weight throughout the night.
Is Zombie Burlesque suitable for someone who doesn't usually enjoy burlesque shows?
Very much so. The comedy and physical performance — body-bending contortion, aerial routines, rapid-fire improvised crowd interaction — give non-burlesque fans plenty to latch onto. The humor is gleefully lowbrow and the theatrical energy is high, so if you're drawn in by the zombie angle or just want something absurd and entertaining, the burlesque elements rarely feel like the main reason you're watching.
What should first-timers know before sitting down for Zombie Burlesque?
Front-row seating carries real risk — the cast improvises with the crowd, and close seats can put you directly in their sights. Because no two performances run identically, repeat visitors genuinely get a different show. The humor skews adult and irreverent throughout, so it's firmly in after-dark territory. Expect a loud, participatory room rather than a passive sit-back experience.
