Director's Notes - Evil Dead: The Musical

I hope you’re ready for something a little different. Comedy, in the theatre, tends to take a more high-brow approach. From Wilde to Simon to the contemporary musical theatre, laughs are regularly built from wordplay amidst an absurd situation. But the writers of Evil Dead: The Musical have gone a different route. By embracing the camp and silliness that grows throughout Sam Raimi’s original trilogy, they’ve ventured into the world of gross out collegiate comedy. And they’ve done so by seizing every opportunity to take the smallest moment of absurdity and push it into the stratosphere. This is comedy built on sight gags, amazing puns, melodrama, and crudeness. It’s refreshing to see on stage, and further proves that there is something for everyone in the canon.

It’s always a pleasure to work together with our team here at TLT. Nena, Michelle, Jeffrey, Dylan, Blake, and Frank have all pushed themselves to the limit to bring you the astounding gorefest you are about to witness. Lean back, take a breath, and get ready for laughs, blood, and rock & roll.

P.S. To everyone in the splash zone… get ready.
