Photo Coverage: EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL is Back and Bloodier Than Ever
by Kelly Cameron - Nov 8, 2013


Evil Dead the Musical is back in Toronto and bloodier than ever! The show opened last week to rave reviews, and audience members are flocking to the Randolph Theatre for a chance to experience this cult classic in all its gory glory. The show takes the cult classic film by the same name and adapts it for the stage, and Torontonians are excited to have the show back in its city. The show had humble beginnings in August 2003 in the back room of The Tranzac Club, and returned to Toronto in 2007 at The Diesel Playhouse where it went on to become the longest running show the city had seen in over two decades and won the Dora Award for Audience Choice. Now that it's back, the city is welcoming it with gory open arms! BWW is thrilled to bring readers production photos of the Toronto cast in action!

One of those people is Daniel Williston, who sat down to talk to BWW about the Evil Dead experience so far, the show's history about (of course) all the blood and gore:
