Unlike most brassy Broadway shows, the musical performances from Evil Dead are shockingly funny and witty, every bit as mordant and brilliant as the original movies themselves. Canadian comedy writer George Reinblatt penned both the lyrics and the script, winning over New York theater critics and Deadites (Evil Dead fanatics) alike in his first musical theater venture. "The film runs this fine line between horror and comedy," says Reinblatt. "You might watch the film and not realize it's supposed to be funny, but it is, and that's why Evil Dead, probably more than any other horror film, lends itself to the musical so well." The show�s music was written by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris and George Reinblatt with music supervision by Frank Cipolla.
Based on Sam Raimi�s (Spiderman, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Xena: Warrior Princess, Darkman) 80�s cult-classic horror films, Evil Dead The Musical unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to stay alive. In the theatrical production, musical mayhem descends as �camp� takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers, buzzing chainsaws and dancing demons, not to mention a �splatterzone� (the front rows of the theater where the audience members literally had a bloody good time). Not just for devotees of the original films, Evil Dead The Musical won a surprising mix of fans, including Norah Jones, Jorge Garcia (�Lost�), Alan Rickman and Neil Patrick Harris, among many New York theatregoers.
