Evil Dead: The Musical
Based on the cult classics Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, Evil Dead: The Musical is a hilarious stage musical as well as the only musical in the
world with a splatter zone. The production is about five college students who go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It is then up to Ash, a housewares employee, to save the day with only the aid of his chainsaw. With song names like All The Men In My Life Keep Getting Killed By Candarian Demons and What The F**k Was That, you will find yourself unable to contain your laughter, as well as trying in vain to anticipate what comes next in this chaotic, off-kilter show. The shows begin tonight, October 13th, at the Studio Two Riffe Center and will be running until October 31st.
