Evil Dead: The Musical follows a group of friends as they venture into the proverbial “cabin in the woods,” unwittingly unleashing ancient forces, disgusting demons, and a rollicking soundtrack. The musical’s wild blend of slapstick comedy and horror tropes makes for a devilishly good time. Replete with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, interactive moments, and a self-aware sense of camp, Evil Dead: The Musical invites audiences to revel in the fun of classic B-movie horror — with a toe-tapping twist. Expect an unforgettable night of laughs, shrieks, and catchy tunes that pay loving homage to Sam Raimi’s original films while carving out its own gleefully gory identity.
