Evil Dead The Musical

Elaine Knaus in rehearsals for the University Theatre production of "Evil Dead the Musical."
Sam Raimi’s classic trilogy of horror/comedy films is reimagined as a stage musical. But if you think that means they’re cutting down on the blood and guts, you’d be wrong. It’s every bit as funny and gory as the film, only now with songs. Groovy, baby.
