Get ready for chainsaws, camp, and buckets of blood! Musical Theatre Southwest will present the cult sensation Evil Dead the Musical, opening October 3, 2025 and running for four blood-soaked weekends at Musical Theatre Southwest.
Based on Sam Raimi's classic horror films, Evil Dead the Musical takes all the outrageous gore, slapstick humor, and over-the-top fun of the original movies and cranks it up with rockin' songs, devilish dance numbers, and gallons of stage blood. This laugh-out-loud musical parody has built a cult following worldwide and is finally chainsawing its way onto the MTS stage.
"This isn't your typical musical," says Director Laura Cummins- Wright. "It's part rock concert, part B-movie, and part comedy night. Fans of 80's horror, the original Evil Dead movies, and theatre alike are going to have an absolute blast."
Audiences can even upgrade to a VIP area or the famous "Splatter Zone" seating, where they're guaranteed to leave the theatre with blood on their clothes (and a big smile on their faces).
Whether you're a die-hard Evil Dead fan or just looking for a hilariously gory night out, this show promises a "groovy" good time.
