By: Taylor Clemons Oct. 19, 2025
October 16th through the 26th at Art Sanctuary, and in collaboration with them, Mind’s Eye Theatre Company will present Evil Dead the Musical. Evil Dead the Musical combines the elements of The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 for one of the baudiest, funniest, and bloodiest theatrical experiences of all time. With book & lyrics by George Reinblatt and music by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris & George Reinblatt, it was first performed on stage in 2003 at the Tranzac club in Toronto, Ontario. The show instantly became a hit and eventually moved on to an off-Broadway run in 2006 at the New World Stages. Since then, productions of the show have been performed all over the world. One critic for The New York Times even hailed the musical as "the next The Rocky Horror Show".
A Femme-led theatre company, Mind's Eye produces fresh, exciting, and inclusive productions, from cult classics to show-stopping extravaganzas, which stretch the boundaries of creativity and cater to the eclectic tastes of our community, and this production certainly is a cult classic with patrons traveling hours to see the show!
