Orgasmico Theatre Co. and Cherry Poppins Productions’ new musical,  flashy raunch-fest Doctor Nympho vs. the Sex Zombies, is a celebration of sexual expression and freedom, backed by an energetic rock score.

The main family members in Doctor Nympho, the Delacroixs, vary in their sexual proclivities: subdued matriarch, Dr. Nimfa, combats the implication of her name in therapy; husband Tad puts his sex life on the back-burner to focus on being a “Cool Dad”; daughter Kelly explores the mysterious night-life; and son Davey prefers solo fun with his cell phone. But this repressed dynamic is upended when lustful Jerry, a patient of proctologist Tad, unleashes a virus creating sex zombies out of the dead to distract Dr. Nimfa and claim Tad for himself.

 

Through sensual songs and titillating burlesque numbers, the sex zombie threat becomes more oppressive and Dr. Nimfa and her family must evolve or die. With songs like “Long and Hard” and “There Goes the Neighborhood,” each character grows more confident and sexually engaging, but will their awakening be enough to satisfy the ravenous horde?

The provocative cast features fearless and fun performances by Alli Miller, Michael Shaw Fisher, Kristyn Evelyn and Kim Dalton as the Delacroix family. Jeff Sumner’s troublesome Jerry is fabulously flashy and mischievous. Played by understudy Madeleine Heil, therapist Dr. Shatz is a sultry temptress for both Dr. Nimfa and her underage son. The sex zombie ensemble, scantily clad in black leather and lace, skillfully flirts with the indecent, while the band wails on Michael Shaw Fisher’s frisky music.

Reminiscent of the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, Doctor Nympho vs. the Sex Zombies is a campy musical-comedy fleshed out by a sexy cast and catchy tunes, and it doesn’t shy away from the scandalous. Audiences will leave laughing, excited… and maybe looking for a sex zombie of their own.
