The cult film is brought to life on stage while a live ensemble performs the entire original musical score from composer Joe LoDuca.
Evil Dead In Concert, a new live-to-film production, will launch September 22 in Buffalo, New York, beginning a run of 50 cities this fall, including a special three-night event in Los Angeles for Halloween. The screenings of Sam Raimi's cult film are in a newly restored format, brought to life on stage while a live ensemble performs the entire original musical score from composer Joe LoDuca. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 13th. The run is a production of Black Ink Presents, a division of Terrapin Station Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment.
Evil Dead follows five college students on vacation in an isolated cabin in the woods, where they unwittingly release absolute evil into the world and have to fight to survive. It is considered one of the most significant cult horror films of all time and has generated a massive following worldwide since the film’s theatrical release on October 15, 1981.
“I am so excited for audiences around the country to join us on an intense, aural descent into hell with this beautiful score and all its madness,” says LoDuca, who began his film career by composing the score for director Raimi.
Following the success of Evil Dead, he became a frequent collaborator with Raimi and went on to win multiple Emmys for his scoring work. Most recently, he released a reimagined version of the original Evil Dead score called “Evil Dead: A Nightmare Reimagined,” where he re-recorded and expanded on the original musical themes of the movie.
