WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Evil Dead: The Musical is a "dis-arm-ingly" riotous musical comedy based on Sam Raimi's 80s cult-classic horror films. It features book and lyrics by George Reinblatt, with music by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris and George Reinblatt. The production is directed by Christopher Bond and Tony Award winner Hinton Battle, with choreography by Battle.

Evil Dead: The Musical unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, "camp" takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like "All the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons," "Look Who's Evil Now" and "Do the Necronomicon." Buzzing chainsaws and dancing demons add to the frenzy, slaying audiences with a tale of lust, love and dismemberment.

Splatter Zone
"Splatter Zone" tickets are available in the front rows of the theater for $29.00 on weekdays and $36.00 on weekends. Patrons in the "splatter zone" should be prepared for a bloody good time and dress accordingly.

WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?

I would hate to be on the clean-up crew for Evil Dead: The Musical. During each performance, the show must go through gallons of fake blood that gets all over the stage and goes so far as the first few rows of the theater, aptly designated the "splatter zone." The patrons in these seats pay a reduced admission charge and are offered plastic ponchos to wear -- but, on the night I saw the show, many of them eschewed the protection and sported white T-shirts in anticipation of the gore fest. This may prove that there's an audience for a cheesy musical based on Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films. Truth be told, there's plenty to enjoy in the show; but it's not as funny as its creators apparently think [...]
