EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL Begins at Equinox Theatre Company Today

Equinox Theatre Company presents the highly anticipated return of EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL.

EVIL DEAD begins today, June 10 through July 16 with shows Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 PM. There will also be a pay-what-you-can industry night on Thursday, July 14, 2016. Tickets are $20 in advance/$25 at the door/$17 for groups of 6 or more in advance only. There are also Splatter Zone seats available in advance only for $25. All performances will be at The Bug Theatre at 3654 Navajo Street in Denver. Tickets and more information available online at www.EquinoxTheatreDenver.com.

In 2013, Equinox presented EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL to sold-out crowds and packed the full four-week run, winning multiple awards, including the Broadway World award for Best Comedic Musical. Now, it's back by popular demand with an extended six-week run of even bloodier song and dance. Based on Sam Raimi's 80s 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."

"We were so thrilled with the response to the show last time we offered it, so we couldn't wait to bring it back," offers co-director Deb Flomberg. "We've got lots of new surprises in store and a lot more blood! Plus, the splatter zone is back, with four rows for all the Evil Dead fans out there. Be sure to stick around after the show for picture with Ash and the deadites!"

EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL features the talents of: Mike Martinkus as Ash, Trevor Hazell as Scott, Lacey Eberl as Linda, Kaitlyn Kendrick as Cheryl, Holly Dalton as Annie, Michael Barlow as Ed, Mike Moran as Jake, Cassie Lujan as Shelly, Marcos Descalzi as Prof. Knowby/The Moose and David Ballew as the Fake Shemp.

"If you want to cut loose, be entertained, and laugh at good, campy, silly fun, then come see this show. And if you like being sprayed with fake blood, shell out a few more bucks and sit in the Splatter Zone." - Craig Williamson, The North Denver Tribune, of Equinox's 2013 production
