Evil Dead: The Musical is a Canadian
rock musical stage play based on the cult classic
film series. First performed on stage in 2003 at the Tranzac club in
Toronto, Ontario, the show instantly became a hit and eventually moved on to an
off-Broadway run in 2006. Many regional productions of the show have been performed all over the world. Critics praised the show and one critic for
The New York Times said the musical "wants to be the next
The Rocky Horror Show, and it just may succeed".
