From the producers of The Play That Goes Wrong comes Evil Dead The Musical, where the cult classic horror-comedy gets a bloody twist!
Grab your mates, your flanno, and maybe a rain poncho, because Evil Dead The Musical is crashing onto the stage – and it’s messier, madder, and more musical than ever. Think Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, smashed together in a blender with a chainsaw and a karaoke machine. It’s one of the most ridiculous, riotous, and (fake) blood-soaked shows you’ll ever see.
The setup? Classic horror fare: five university students head off for a chill weekend in a creepy old cabin in the woods. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, just a cheeky ancient evil getting unleashed, a few possessions, and a whole lot of demon shenanigans. It’s up to Ash, a humble housewares clerk turned undead-slaying legend to save the day armed with a boomstick, a chainsaw hand, and zero chill.
Expect flying body parts, groan-worthy demon dad jokes, and musical numbers that’ll have you howling with laughter. Songs like All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons and What the F**k Was That? are so off-the-wall, you’ll be singing them in the shower for days.
If you’ve never seen the films don’t worry, you don’t need to be a horror buff. You don’t even need to like musicals! If you’re into laughs, chaos, and a bit of stage blood splashing about, this is your jam. Scary? Nah. Gory? Only in the funniest, fakest way. It’s a comedy from start to splattery finish.
And hey, did we mention the Splatter Zone? Yep, front row legends get doused in theatrical blood. It’s part rock concert, part haunted house, part BYO raincoat.
From New York to Toronto, Korea to Nunawading , Evil Dead The Musical has left audiences cackling, soaked, and begging for more. Critics rave, fans go feral (in a good way), and theatre staff start wearing gumboots. This show’s got serious cult cred – and now it’s coming to you.
So whether you’re a die-hard fan of the films or just here for the chaos, one thing’s for sure: Evil Dead The Musical, a cult sensation is the grooviest, goriest, most gloriously unhinged night out you’ll ever have at the theatre. Waitlist now, and don’t forget to duck!
Evil Dead The Musical will play the Reginald Theatre – Seymour Centre from 20 February – 14 March, before heading to Chapel Off Chapel, Prahran, from 26 March – 5 April 2026. For more information and to join the waitlist, visit: www.evildeadmusical.com.au for details.
