Look Who's Evil Now!

I haven't seen another thread about this, but I apologize if I'm repeating one.

Evil Dead: The Musical is now the longest running musical in Toronto. It celebrated its 300th show just shy of a month ago, and with good reason. It has got to be the funniest, best-written spoof I have ever seen. It's definitely one of my all-time favourite musicals overall, knocking out several "serious" shows. I got to sit in the splatter zone when I went to see it, and enjoyed every second (even when I had to wipe the blood from my glasses so as not to miss anything)!

Hhhmmm . . . just a thought . . . maybe this should be in the music section? I didn't see a "theater" board . . . *scampers off to check*

Well, here's the official website: http://www.evildeadthemusical.com/

It's closing in September, which is a total bummer, although it's apparently showing in California soon, according to the site. I have the soundtrack, which I listen to frequently. Tracks include "What the F**k Was That?" "Ode to an Accidental Stabbing" and "All The Men In My Life Keep Getting Killed By Kandarian Demons" It's full of fan service quips, like direct quotes from the movies, and inside jokes about Bruce Campbell and the Raimi brothers. Bruce Campbell absolutely loved it, and gave it glowing reviews.

There's a scene in the play where Ash takes on the demons with the chainsaw and shotgun, and the fake blood goes spraying everywhere, to the point where before the show, the servers hand out ponchos to everyone sitting in the first three rows, which is dubbed the "Splatter Zone."

It is! I came oh-so close to peeing myself from laughing on several occasions.
