THEATRE -
EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL
Seems that the genre of Horror nowdays is in every performing arts area. Came across this from the Examiner - what a great lead in for Halloween!
Anything "Evil Dead" rocks. Give Ash songs to sing and you know you're in for a bloody good time. "Evil Dead The Musical," the Off-Broadway camp-horror phenomenon, comes to Washington, DC for the first time, at the DCAC (District of Columbia Arts Center). Performances are Fridays through Sunday at 7:30 PM, from now through November 1
Based on Sam Raimi’s 80's cult classic films, "Evil Dead The Musical" tells the tale of 5 college kids who travel to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force. It’s a classic story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive.
“The production will feature the theater's first-ever Splash Zone, said director Melissa Baughman. “Audience members should dress accordingly because at the intimate DC Arts Center, I don’t think there will be a blood-free seat in the house!”
Baughman is no stranger to the zombie-horror genre, having last directed the original zombie rock musical "Diamond Dead" (Winner of the 2008 Best Musical Pick of the Capital Fringe and 2009 DCTheatreScene.com Audience Favorite Fringe Musical) which toured this summer at the New York International Fringe Festival and The Capital Fringe Festival. She also directed the 2006 production of "Night of the Living Dead."
HISTORICAL NOTE:
The Evil Dead is a series of three horror films created by Sam Raimi. The films focus on the protagonist, Ashley "Ash" J. Williams, who is played by Bruce Campbell. Ash deals with "deadites", which are demons created by the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. The film series has since expanded into other formats such as video games and comic books. An off-Broadway musical opened in Toronto in 2003 based on the storyline of the first two films.
