Overview
Synopsis
Not long ago, at a cabin lost in the woods in Michigan, a group of five college students found themselves face to face with evil forces summoned by the Necronomicon. One by one, they were captured by the demonic forces in the woods and turned on the others, until all that was left was Ash, a loyal S-Mart employee. Armed with his boomstick (a shotgun) and his chainsaw for a hand, Ash is charged with destroying the demons and saving the world. A musical filled with the iconic images and lines from the original Evil Dead movie franchise--not to mention gratuitous violence and gallons of fake blood--Evil Dead: The Musical is a cult classic romp of pop culture against evil spirits bent on destroying the world, destined to leave audiences cheering.

The original production had “Hail to the King” (as the show ended with Ash in medieval times) in place of “We Will Never Die” and “Blew That Bitch Away.” In 2006, the script was changed to bring Ash back to the present day.
Evil Dead: The Musical is also available for high school licensing and eliminates profanity from both the song titles and lyrics: “What the Heck Was That” and “Blew That Witch Away.”
A song with an asterisk (*) before the title indicates a dance number; a character listed in a song with an asterisk (*) by the character's name indicates that the character exclusively serves as a dancer in this song, which is sung by other characters.
