TTZ(ombie)

When the Zombie apocalypse begins in the tunnels of the TTC, an unlikely team of commuters band together to form their own Zombie Fighting Team. Together, they must try to survive the end of days, while navigating budding romances, fending off unwanted UTI’s and enduring the longest subway delay in history.

​

TTZ(ombie) is a 60-minute comedy-horror show. With an epic battle at Casa Loma, hordes of zombie-raccoons, a soundtrack composed by a local band, and many more City-specific locations and cultural references, TTZ(ombie) is a tribute to the city we love (and the transit system we reluctantly put up with).

​

So tap your Presto card and board the train. The TTZ will be running on schedule.

Our show begins in the dark. Flashes light up the stage, a subway car. An action sequence as MATT tries to outrun the blooming zombie apocalypse. Zombies try to grab him as he runs by, and it is shocking how quickly the virus is spreading. Zombies launch themselves off the seat, trying to jump on him. Break-dancing busker zombies intercept him with a dance battle that ends in fatality. Evangelist Zombie commands him to give his brains to Zombie-Jesus. By the time he busts into the last train car, he is covered in blood. Over his shoulder, a zombie smacks against the window, face pressed against it. Blood and saliva smear, and MATT utters the first line of our show: “It’s the effing zombie apocalypse. Run.”

 

In this sure-to-be cult classic, the viewer will come face-to-face with their existential dread and launch it off the Bloor-viaduct bridge. It will literally rock, as JACK takes on a slew of zombies in an epic song where his axe (guitar) becomes mirrored with his axe (battle weapon). In case that isn’t enough, the show ends with an epic musical theatre number, ending in Niagara Falls, for the first-ever human-zombie nuptial.
