Very, very funny in a silly way. Perfect venue for this kind of show.
I wasn't sure what to expect.I have seen all 3 movies and couldn't imagine a musical. Well, this cast blew me away. Their voices and singing abilities were excellent. Great stage presences and dancing. I highly recommend this to any live stage lover.
While small off-beat theatre appears to be alive and well in Toronto, this performance was a bit of a disappointment. While not horrible, for $80 per person, for a family of 4, this event was over-priced and over-hyped. Yes it's a deliberately "campy" musical comedy but there was far too much emphasis on mediocre singing "routines" (laced with excessive profanity) and not enough focus on gore, special effects and horror. After all it's the "Evil Dead" and no amount of last-minute "splatter" can change the high-school quality of the overall performance.
Great cast, great vocals and just a huge laugh. Came away from the show with my daughter smiling, laughing and soaked....
Bought the tickets to this show for my husband as he really wanted to see it. I was not so sure. Boy was I wrong, this was absolutly amazing. Way more humour then horror. Kept me interested and entertained for the entire play. There is not a bad seat in this theater. We were not in the splatter zone, thank goodness, those people were soaked at the end. Not my thing but I am sure they enjoyed being drenched in blood. I can see why people see this show over and over. So funny !!!!
This is the best Musical production I have seen. It has everything you want. Good music and laffs galor. If you didnt see it you really missed something special and memorable. It was my 4th time seeing it and I still saw and heard things I didnt see before and had a rip roaring time.
Went to see The Evil Dead Musical, sat in the splatter zone & it was awesome!! Full of corny jokes and songs everything a cult classic should be. True to all slasher flicks all the blood and action was in the last 15 minutes. Got covered in blood it was a great time. Would definitely go again. Great job by the cast.
Evil Dead as the worst musical I have ever seen. For the $85.00 we paid we certainly expected a lot more. In short the whole production was very amateur.
Awesome job! Cast was amazing and the show was so memorable. Didn't go for the splatter zone, but I can imagine it being an interesting experience with the blood being sprayed at you. A different kind of show filled with laughter, amusement and a good story line. Really enjoyed it
Campy fun at its very best. A clever little production that embraces the "best" of the classic Evil Dead "franchise". Bruce Campbell would be proud. Catchy tunes and a cast that really seemed to enjoy itself.
Our family sat front and centre in the splatter zone and had a great time. It's fast-paced and doesn't take itself seriously at all. Our kids (yes we took our kids) really got into it as well and we were declared the coolest people ever for bringing them. It is pretty raunchy and the actors know how to make the material work. And they work! Surprising amount of dancing as well as singing. If you are planning on sitting in the splatter zone bring a garbage bag to protect your coats and clothes you don't want covered in fake blood. You may want to put a towel or two in the bag as well. Wearing white clothes will provide you with some fun looks to take photos of afterwards.
Funny as ever! I had the opportunity to see last time it was in Canada (over 5 years ago) and it was just as bloody and funny. Thanks for bringing it back!
Evil Dead the Musical was absolutely hilarious. Such a fun, upbeat, musical that had everyone laughing the whole time. A lot of fun!
O What a show...and i was in the splatter section! The crowd was very kind, helping to put coats under plastic bags But the cast! High High energy...very funny! I see allot of theatre this was one of my best...just because it was too much fun! my only regret ...i did not buy the touque ...but i did get the T shirt! I came from niagara to see this show!
My wife and I just loved it, it was really funny for a trilogy of Horror. The first 4 rows were in the splatter zone aka the bloody rain from hell and guts.
It was a fun, casuel type musical. Not a big production like some others I've been to, but they did good with what they had. Some really funny parts. Was pretty corny at parts - OF COURSE! What did you expect? Haha. Backing tracks left a lot to be desired, but this wouldn't bother most people. Overall - fun. We were row E, which was directly behind the splatter zone (rows A-D). We got a little residual but nothing too bad. They announced that it washes out easily. Seats were great, though I don't think there was a bad seat in the venue.
I have seen the show twice back in 2009 and now twice in 2013 Love it more everytime i see the show. Last time was in the splatterzone. Absolutley blooddrenching. .
THIS was my second time going this month!!! I want to go 10 more times!!! It was incredibly funny, entertaining, cast was terrific, songs were terrific, merch was terrific, splatter zone was crazy :)
As a fan of the franchise all I can say is buy a ticket and just go see it!!
This play is great, the songs are a lot of fun, and it's only playing a limited time! Go now!
