Published by Dramatic Publishing
4 Male 3 Female
This hilarious show takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films and combines them into one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time
Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons
So it's all up to Ash - a housewares employee turned demon-killing hero - and his trusty chainsaw to save the day
Blood flies
Limbs are dismembered
Demons tell bad jokes
All set to music
The songs in the show are completely off the wall with titles like "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" and "What the F**k Was That?" will have audiences rolling in their seats and screaming for more and more blood
This show has fun with the horror genre and, in doing so, appeals to a wide audience
And with this combination of blood, jokes, cheesy effects and awesome musical numbers, Evil Dead The Musical is unlike any show you've ever seen
The Musical has become a cult sensation of its own
The show played off-Broadway in New York, has broken records in Toronto, has won awards in Korea and has had more than 200 productions mounted across the globe
And because this show appeals to both the fans of the films and the new audience who loves it purely as a stage show, theatres who put on Evil Dead The Musical are amazed by the audience response
