About This Event

EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL


Book and Lyrics by George Reinblatt

Music by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris, George Reinblatt

Music Supervision by Frank Cipolla

Additional lyrics by Christopher Bond


Evil Dead The Musical takes all the elements of the cult classic films The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 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 all to a rockin' musical score. 


You don’t need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don’t need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don’t even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you like having fun… this show is for you. Is it scary? No! Is it gory? No. This is a pure comedy start to finish. It has fun with the horror genre, and this combination of blood, jokes, cheesy effects, and really awesome musical numbers, Evil Dead The Musical is unlike any live show you’ve ever seen.

SPLASH ZONE QUESTIONS-

  • Yes- this production will feature Splash Zone seating.
  • Choosing seats in this area means you will get wet during the performance. How wet? Not like getting a bucket of water dumped on you, but a bit more than squirt gun might get ya.
  • Sitting in Splash Zone does not guarantee you will get splashed- it's live theater, after all- but sitting in this area means you have a greater chance of getting 'splashed'.


GENERAL ADMISSION ZONE QUESTIONS-

  • So... you may have heard that this production will feature Splash Zone seating which may not be too far away from General Admission seating.
  • Choosing seats in General Admission area means you will most likely not get wet during the performance, but it's live theater, after all- and water can be sneaky.
  • Choosing seats in General Admission area may not save you from a stray drop or two, but best odds are that you won't get wet at all.


ADA/ACCESSIBLE TICKETING QUESTIONS-

  • We have ample ADA designated seating locations in our small venue- in both the Splash Zone and General Admission Zones. Please notify our team if any member of your party has accessibility concerns so we can make your visit most comfortable.
