Synopsis
EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL takes all the elements of the cult classic films, The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness and combines them for one of the craziest, funniest, and bloodiest 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. 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… and it’s all set to music. Song 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 is a pure comedy start to finish, while having cheeky fun with the horror genre all along the way. It’s also the only show with a “Splatter Zone” section of the audience that gets covered in fake blood. EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL is unlike any LIVE show you’ve ever seen. JOIN US!!!!!! The show returns to The KordaZone Theatre after our 2017 production, this time helmed by Korda Board Member Joey Wright, whose recent Korda directing credits include 2024’s The Three Musketeers, 2023’s The Best Man, and 2022’s Clue.
