Evil Dead: The Musical
A while ago, I wrote about the Batman musical. I just discovered this gem on EW.com.
Here's the article
"'Evil Dead: The Musical'? Groovy.
I have, at several points in my life, claimed that I would saw off my possessed right hand for an Evil Dead musical. Well, it looks like I'm going to have to get moving on that, for, lo and behold, it lives. Sam Raimi's horror comedy spectacular is taking that final leap into absurdity and growing a score. (Song titles include "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" and "What the F--- Was That?")
Yes, there will be a "splash zone." (And thank you to The Lieutenant of Inishmore for reviving the Grand Guignol on Broadway.) So yes, there will be blood. And boomsticks. And maybe a sweet, screaming chainsong or two. Sure, it could all fall to dismembered pieces under the weight of its own camp, but isn't that a chance you're willing to take? Especially after reading a press release this gutsy:
"Whether or not you’re a fan of the Evil Dead movies... you will love this show. Whether or not you’re a fan of musicals... you will love this show. Whether or not you’re a fan of horror... you will love this show. No matter who you are... you will love this show!"
There's only one word for that, and, fellow Dead-ites, I think you know what it is."[Kate: 'and that word is "groovy!'']
Two things come to mind about this
1) Is there anything they WON'T try to make into a musical?
2) I want a ticket. NOW.
