Bloody madness!

This show was amazing!! I honestly went to find something to do in Chicago and I'm glad I ran into this! Hilarious, bloody, and the cast was perfect! I do think parents should take the explicit rating serious as I did see some kids there:x highly recommended!

Great fun was had by all! The seating was excellent for the entire audience! Actors were having a great time! So worth seeing! My wife went even though she knew nothing of the original movies. Couldn't get her to stop laughing!

The actors/singers were talented, however, the story-line was not particularly clever or amusing. Most of the jokes appeared to have been written by middle school-aged boys.

Evil Dead the Musical - disturbed, grotesque, vile

Evil Dead the Musical - disturbed, grotesque, vile...and I loved every minute of it!!!! Really an amazing portrayal of the main events of both ED 1 and ED 2, with a great smattering of lines and (slightly) changed scenes from Army of Darkness. It all fit together great. Sat in the Splatterzone, they went all out on that. Everyone was just drenched, It was great. :)

Bloody Funny!

If you are a hardcore fan of the original Evil Dead trilogy, you'll enjoy the in-jokes and delightfully absurd music in "Evil Dead - The Musical." Yes, it's campy, has some horrible puns, gratuitous jiggling mammary glands, and more...but isn't that what made you fall in love with the original Bruce Campbell/Sam Raimi collaborations?

If you want to have a great time full of laughs, inside jokes, broadway caliber performances, and evil- this show was amazing. A little tip: The "splatter section" is aptly named. Purchase a poncho or be prepared to leave the theater dripping in possibly real (though unconfirmed) demon blood.
Ridiculously funny and bloody awesome! That's what theatregoers from Toronto to NYC and around the world have been saying about the record-breaking musical comedy sensation that takes all the elements of Sam Raimi's cult classic films to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time! The only musical in the world where audiences can sit in the “Splatter Zone” and get drenched from the mayhem, or watch from a save (and dry) distance.
Five college students spend the weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to our hero, Ash, and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Evil Dead the Musical, has it all - some dismembered limbs, demons telling bad jokes, and catchy tunes (“Look Who’s Evil Now”, “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons”).
SPLATTER ZONE: Audience members have a "bloody" choice in seating! You can sit in the "Dry Zone" to watch the mayhem or you can sit in the infamous “Splatter Zone!” and get drenched when the blood starts gushing! You will get drenched by stage “blood” and get increasingly wet over the course of the performance (ponchos are available for purchase).
