Evil Dead The Musical
This show 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 and his trusty chainsaw to save the day! 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. And with a combination of blood, jokes, cheesy effects, and really awesome musical numbers, Evil Dead The Musical is unlike any live show you’ve ever seen! Silly, scary and bloody terrific!

This role is basically all of the small roles in the show: Knowby, Airport Announcer, the Severed Hand, Linda’s Headless Body, the Evil Force, etc. Note: This role is optional, and if the director desires, these small roles can be divided up amongst the other actors in the show.
EVIL TREES (traditionally played by ED, JAKE and FAKE SHEMP, but anyone can play them. There can also be as many Evil Trees as the director wishes)
HOUSE SPIRITS (offstage voices who sing along to “Join Us.” Traditionally the full cast sings while simultaneously controlling the puppets that make up the moving contents of the cabin, so this can be expanded as desired)
