What Was That? That's was people all over the world have been saying after seeing Evil Dead The Musical... the only musical in the world with a splatter zone.
For those who don't know, this hilarious live stage show takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films, Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness then combines them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time.
Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons are telling bad jokes... and all to music.
The songs in the show are completely off the wall as well. Titles like "All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons" and "What the F*@k was That" will have you rolling in your seats, and screaming for more and more blood.
You don't need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don't need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don't even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you like having fun... this show is for you.
Even the critics unanimously praise this show with everyone from the New York Times to the Globe and Mail to Maxim Magazine giving it top marks.
And now Off-Strip Productions and RagTag Entertainment have teamed up with some of the best special effects houses, set builders, prop designers, and talent in the Las Vegas area to bring this wild, non-stop roller coaster ride of a show to Sin City for its Las Vegas debut! And, just for Vegas locals, general admission tickets are only $15.
Directed by Sirc Michaels of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW fame, with vocal direction by Nancy West and choreography by Jennie Carroll, this is not just a show - it's a full-on Halloween event!
