Based on Sam Raimi’s 80’s cult classic 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 survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, “camp” takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like “All the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons,” “Look Who’s Evil Now” and “Do the Necronomicon.”! Bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit, Evil Dead: The Musical is a deliciously campy romp!

“If there is a better play to get you in the Halloween spirit, we don’t know of it.” –Boise Weekly

“The next Rocky Horror Show!” – The New York Times

“Bloody Hilarious! This devilishly entertaining show [has] never forgotten why it was created: To make people laugh!” – The Toronto Star

Book by Joe Masteroff

Based on the play by John Van Druten & Stories by Christopher Isherwood

Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb

Directed by Jim Kimbrough

Cabaret is the story of young American writer, Clifford Bradshaw, living in Berlin at the dawn of the Nazi era. He becomes infatuated with the giddy, gaudy decadence of the place, epitomized by a sexy, vaguely dangerous nightclub called the Kit Kat Club; in particular he finds himself involved with its chanteuse, sad, flighty Sally Bowles. While Cliff and Sally drift, dreamlike, in this happy but desperate milieu, life outside turns ugly. As time passes, and the Nazi’s power grows, Cliff decides to leave the world of Berlin and the Kit Kat Club behind him, but Sally, believing that “life is a cabaret,” opts to stay behind.

“This combination of brashly sexualized razzle-dazzle, infectious hedonism and hopeful romance is underscored by apprehension that gives way to the inexorable stranglehold of evil.” – The Hollywood Reporter
