The musical, based on a story by John Dempsey and Hugh Murphy. The ghoulish rock and roll musical is set in the atomic 1950’s at a high school, where the law is laid down by a tyrannical principal.

Pretty Senior Toffee has fallen for the class bad boy. Family pressure forces her to end the romance, and he charges off on his motorcycle to the nuclear waste dump. He returns, glowing and determined to reclaim Toffee’s heart. He still wants to graduate, but most of all he wants to take Toffee to the prom. The principal orders him to drop dead while a scandal reporter seizes on him as the freak du jour.

History comes to the rescue while a tuneful selection of original songs in the style of the ’50s hits keeps the action rocking across the stage.
