Evil Dead The Musical
Posted by: Ripley in Artifakt News, Events, General
The last time that I went to a live theatrical event was an Italian opera when I was in Rome a few years ago. I did enjoy the event although I didn’t understand the opera because it was in Italian and I don’t fluently speak Italian. Anyway, the point is that theater can be fun…especially after a few drinks…and when I read about the Evil Dead musical that will be coming in a several months to Seattle I felt compelled to let people know because I’m sure it is going to be awesome! The Evil Dead movies are quite hilarious and seeing them live will be fun. I was disappointed when It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia came to the Moore Theatre in Seattle…and I was not able to score tickets. However, the Evil Dead event is far enough away and will run for a couple of months so there is no reason not to go. Here is a quick description taken from westseattleherald.com:
Evil Dead: The Musical is set to appear next and it’s going to be “A hoot” said Director Christopher Zinovitch. The play, another Seattle premiere, combines elements from three cult classic horror films Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness and combines them to make a crazy theatrical experience. There’s even a warning that the first few rows are likely to get blood spilled on them (it’s not real blood of course and washes out easily). Where the show has played elsewhere it has become a fan favorite with people showing up in white T-Shirts to better display the blood.
LImbs are dismembered, demons tell jokes, and it is all set to music. Evil Dead does feature adult language, themes, graphic comedic scenes with “lots and lots and lots of blood” and is recommended for ages 15 and up. It runs October 20 – Nov 13, 2010.
