If you are a theatre fan, you might have noticed that many of the musicals and other theatrical productions being made nowadays are based on hit movies. However, the fact that Evil Dead: The Musical is based on a series of movies makes it standout from the rest.

The Evil Dead franchise dates back to 1981 and is one of the most favorite cult franchises in cinematic history. The movies were directed by Sam Raimi (the director of Spiderman) and starred Bruce Campbell, who is now a cult icon. The movies, which were rich in blood and gore, included popular one-liners and also used innovative camera techniques that literally revolutionized the horror genre. 

Many people who have seen these movies could not have thought, they would one day become a musical show. This fact did not halt the group of highly ambitious and creative young people hailing from Toronto, who tried creating something extraordinary. In 2003, in a small bar, known as the Tranzac Club, Evil Dead: The Musical ultimately made its debut.

The musical gained instant fame. Just like the movies that it has been based on, the theatrical production also became a cult sensation. Just within days of its premiere, audiences began thronging the venue to see this fresh new show.  As the word got out about the show, fans in other cities began taking an interest too. A year after its opening, in 2004, the musical was featured at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festivals.

In 2006, the Off-Broadway version of the musical came to New York City. In New York, the show was highly admired by critics and audiences. The cast album from this Off-Broadway show debuted on number four on the Billboard Show charts.

Even though, Evil Dead: The Musical met with tremendous success in Montreal and in New York, the team behind this exceptional show wanted to take it back to the city where it all started, Toronto. The show was staged at the celebrated Diesel Playhouse in Toronto in May 2007. It was a huge hit and became the longest running Canadian production in Toronto in more than twenty years. In acknowledgement of this achievement, the production was awarded the Dora Audience Choice Award for being 'Toronto's Favorite Show.'

Eventually, with the success that Evil Dead: The Musical received in Toronto, various productions began to showcase it on an international level. Cities like Cleveland, Tokyo, California, Calgary, Kalimazoo are among some of the cities to have staged it.

Now the musical is scheduled to be performed once again, in various cities across the country. You can catch this phenomenal musical live by getting your Evil Dead The Musical tickets.
