Preview: Boobs of the Dead at Gorilla Tango
A strange virus known as "B1Z3" is infecting citizens of Chicago, with the CDC warning that "virus carriers have been observed performing elaborate dance routines while removing sequined corsetry before committing heinous assaults on confused onlookers." Can the Sheriff, Wife Lady, Old Dude, Best Friend and Southern Guy fend off the glitter-dusted ghouls long enough to survive?
Boobs of the Dead: A Walking Dead Burlesque is the latest in Gorilla Tango Burlesque's impressive line of burlesque parodies of cult favorites, opening this weekend and running through Halloween.

Performances are Fridays at 9pm and Saturdays at midnight, Oct. 5-27, with a special final performance on Wednesday, Oct. 31st at 9pm, at the Gorilla Tango Theater, 1919 N. Milwaukee Ave. Tickets are $20, available in advance online or by phone at 773-598-4549.
