About the Show

A cabin in the woods. The Book of the Dead. Zombies. Aggressive trees. Sexy college students. A wayward hand. Lots of catchy show tunes. Sam Raimi's cult classic 1980s films are brought to life in this campy show. 

 

During spring break, five college students break into an abandoned cabin in the woods and unleash evil spirits. All hell breaks loose, and the fun soon ensues with zombies...and show tunes! Written by George Reinblatt, with music by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris, and George Reinblatt, Evil Dead: The Musical delights with such tunes as "What the F*** Was That," "Bit Part Demon," "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons," and the Rocky Horror Picture Show-inspired "Do the Necronomicon." 

 

Blood features prominently in this show. Audience members sitting in the first row are guaranteed to get splattered with plenty of plasma. White t-shirts with the slogan "Splatter Zone Survivor" are available for purchase as keepsakes.

 

Evil Dead: The Musical runs May 8 through June 14 in the Studio Theater at the Beck Center. Show times are 8:00 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 p.m. Sundays.
