Screw The Producers, screw The Lion King, screw Tommy, 42nd Street and Chicago:
EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL is by far, the best musical, Broadway or off, that I have ever seen.
I'm serious. I went last night, and I can't say enough good things about this show. No sleeping, no yawning, no rolling your eyes, no boredom. The script is excellent (based on the movie) and very funny. The acting, singing, and dancing is all fantastic, AND most importantly, the special effects are clever (way better than the movie) and include gallons and gallons of --supposedly washable-- "blood." With song titles like "What the Fuck Was That?" and "All The Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed By Candarian Demons" you can't have anything but a wonderful time. I did.
"Evil Dead: The Musical, a ‘dis-arm-ingly’ riotous musical comedy based on Sam Raimi’s 80s cult-classic horror films, unearths the old familiar story: boy and his 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. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, “camp” takes on a whole new meaning in uproarious numbers like “All the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons,” “Look Who’s Evil Now” and “Do the Necronomicon.” Buzzing chainsaws and dancing demons add to the frenzy, slaying audiences with this tale of lust, love and dismemberment."
Get tickets while you can! And remember, the first three rows are The Splatter Zone, so dress accordingly!

I saw it in previews. What a great show! It's even better if you are a fan of the movies. There are in-jokes galore or GaGORE for that matter.
Did they include the scene where the woman is raped by the tree?
not exactly. but broads and dudes alike were roughed up by trees. plenty of violence for everyone's satisfaction!
It sounds like it has the same vibe as Bat Boy - did you see that? It was fantastic.
