Evil Dead: The Musical

Since I’m in Evil Dead: The Musical (premiering Friday October 24th at The Starlight Theater in Michigan) I thought I’d take some time and spoil everything about it, from the music to the plot to the intricate details and nuances.

Then I realized that was a TERRIBLE idea. I want you guys to come see the show, not listen to me critique it. In that spirit, here’s five things you’ll experience if you come to Evil Dead the Musical (running October 24th, 25th, 30th,31st and November 1st)

5. Blood

This show is RIDDLED with practical effects. If you sit in the first few rows, you WILL get wet. Wear a white tee-shirt and bring home a souvenir! Or get a poncho and protect yourself. Whatever floats your boat.
4. Chainsaws

No Evil Dead associated property is complete without the chainsaw. Even the less-than-stellar reboot/sequel got that part right. And our show is no exception. There is a chainsaw, among other weapons of Deadite destruction. Never fear, S-Mart shoppers!
3. Humor

This is FUNNY. Not only are classic lines from the movies featured, but we poke fun at the whole genera of horror, musicals, and everything in between. You’ll be laughing your head off. I know I will be. :D
2. A well-deserved R rating.

DO NOT BRING SMALL CHILDREN TO THIS SHOW. There is blood, gore, swearing, and implied sex. No nudity, but that’s about it. If your seventeen year old has already seen the movies, they’re probably fine. Just leave little Bobby and Suzie at home, or explain to them wha that tree just did to the nice lady.
1. Great music

This show has a lot of fun numbers celebrating everything from stupid protagonists, to love, to demonic evil about to slaughter the living. It’s got classic romantic ballads, pop, country, even a tango! What’s not to like?!

Be there. Or we’ll swallow your soul!
