Day 30: Look Who's Evil Now!

What better way to pay tribute to the cult classic horror trilogy than to combine all the films into one bloody hilarious musical?

I was first introduced to this musical roughly 2 years ago, when I went to a production in Springfield, MO. It was vulgar, gory, and absolutely the funniest musical I had ever seen.

Fast forward to the present, having found out this musical would be in Kansas City, there was absolutely no way I was going to miss out. I convinced my lovely girlfriend (herself a fan of musicals) and she convinced some friends of ours to come with us to see the one and only, Evil Dead The Musical.

Somehow, though we tried to avoid it, we found ourselves front and center, right behind a row designated as the splatter section. When we realized that our seats were covered in plastic, we knew we would be in for one evil night...

I cannot express the greatness of this musical, which combines all the greatest scenes from all 3 Evil Dead movies. During the production, die hard fans yell out famous lines from the movies, laughter fills the theater, and fun is had by all! We left the night blood sprayed and happy, finishing the evening by watching The Evil Dead, which needs no introduction.

What an amazing prelude to Halloween!!!
