About Evil Dead The Musical: Based on the cult classic film, Evil Dead: The Musical tells the story of 5 friends in a cabin in the woods for a camping trip. As per usual, their trip is disrupted when they release an evil force that turns everybody into demons! Don’t you hate when that happens? As familiar as this plot might sound, it might not be what you think! We promise an all new retelling of this tale, packed with campy and comedic songs that point out just how ridiculous horror movies can be. Join our hero as he fights his friends-turned-demons until daylight, and see if you make it out alive! Or…at least not turned into a demon.
Evil Dead The Musical runs October 7, 8, 22 & 28, Evil Dead features Book and Lyrics By George Reinblatt, Music By Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris, and George Reinblatt and has Additional Music by Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris and George Reinblatt
Please note: Evil Dead includes references and elements of Alcohol, Drugs, Gun Shots, Intense Adult Themes, and Strong Language.
Character Breakdown
ASH: Male, Early 20’s (Range: Baritone, C#3- Bb4)
An employee at S-Mart. On his one and only vacation all year. Optimistic about the cabin in the middle of the woods despite the obvious paranormal activity.
CHERYL: Female, Early 20’s (Range: Alto, G3-F#5)
Ash’s lonely sister. Decides to join the group to spend the weekend reading, sleeping, and baking. Scares easily. Perhaps the only person to sees the possessed cabin for what it is. The first to succumb to possession.
ANNIE: Female, Mid 20's (Alto, B3-A5)
Arrives home from Egypt after locating the Book of the Dead. On a mission to translate the book to save the world. All the men in her past have been killed by candarian demons. DOUBLES SHELLY, a random girl who Scott picked up drunk at a bar three days ago.
LINDA: Female, Early 20’s (Range: Soprano, A3-E5)
Also works at S-Mart and dating Ash. Never thought she would meet the man of her dreams at S-Mart. The voice of reason. Always concerned about the other people in the cabin, especially Cheryl.
SCOTT: Male, Early 20’s (Range: Tenor, D3-G4)
Doesn’t care about anyone other than himself, unless they can get him laid. Constantly demeaning. Makes fun of people for being scared of obviously creepy things (like talking trees). Blatant and straight to the point.
ED: Male, Mid 20's (Range: Bass, A2-F#4)
Deeply in love with Annie. Nothing special about him. Longs to be more than just an extra character within the musical. DOUBLES MOOSE, a possessed moose head on the wall of the cabin.
JAKE: Male, Mid 30's (Range: Baritone, G#2-F#4)
Good, old, and reliable. Seems to know far too much about the musical. Spends his time wandering the woods around the cabin.
FAKE SHEMP: Male, Age Flexible (Range: Ensemble/Part Flexible)
This role is basically all of the small roles in the show - the severed hand, the headless body, etc.
