Ryan Ward, a welcome new addition to the theatre community, wields a mean chainsaw-arm as Ash in Off-Broadway's Evil Dead: The Musical

For those very cultured New York theatre-goers who felt last season's Martin McDonagh bloodbath The Lieutenant of Inishmore wasn't quite graphically violent enough to satisfy their very refined tastes, might I suggest an evening at the latest offering to grace the Off-Broadway stage, Evil Dead: The Musical. It's freakin' awesome.

It sounds like something out of '42nd Street' (which Renee was in): Kansas girl makes it to Broadway-and soon to the silver screen.
