Evil Dead the Musical

Reviews

Evil Dead The Musical has had overwhelmingly positive reviews.

  • The New York Times has called it "The Next Rocky Horror Show".[3]
  • Entertainment Weekly called it "The show is as funny as it is gory" [4]
  • The Hollywood Reporter called it "Silly, fun, loosely campy and not terrifying at all"[5]
  • And Variety (magazine) said "Evil Dead: The Musical” should be a disaster.... It has self-aware jokes, ironically earnest songs and a tacit assertion that the creators think their entire project is a goof. And yet it works. The show's wit, gore and stage magic make it a ridiculous amount of fun."[6]
