EVIL DEAD 1 & 2 |
EVIL DEAD 1 & 2: THE MUSICAL RETURNS TO TORONTO FOR ONE WEEK
ONLY.
Toronto, June 3rd, 2004 -- Blood! Chainsaws! Singing!
- Evil Dead 1& 2: The Musical Returns to Toronto for a limited run of
Previews at the Bathurst Street Theatre from June 22nd to June 26 for
7 shows only before it sets up shop in Montreal for the summer as part
of the 22nd edition of Festival Just For Laughs.
A riotous musical
comedy based on the cult classic horror movies, Evil Dead 1 & 2: The
Musical was created by Toronto locals George Reinblatt and Christopher
Bond. The script is written by Reinblatt - who holds credits writing for
comedians Howie Mandel, Rick Mercer and Kelly Ripa of ‘Regis and
Kelly’. The catchy tunes are written by Melissa Morris, Frank Cipolla,
Bond and Reinblatt. The musical is Directed by Christopher Bond from
Toronto’s Second City.
Evil Dead 1 & 2: The Musical premiered
last year at the infamous Tranzac Club in Toronto and turned away hundreds of
eager fans who lined up each night for a chance to see their favorite b-movie
horror film put to song. Diehard ‘Deadites’ ventured across North
America to witness the birth of a new cult classic. Back by popular demand, the
Musical has been resurrected in its hometown Toronto for one week of preview
shows only.
Its that old familiar story that we know and love: boy and
his friends go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, boy accidentally unleashes
ancient evil spirit, his friends all turn into Candarian Demons, and boy must
fight until dawn to survive. Legendary director Sam Raimi launched his
career directing Evil Dead before making the blockbuster movie Spiderman and
the TV show Xena: Warrior Princess. A huge cult following has grown around Evil
Dead and its sequels, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. “The trilogy
delves further and further into farce and camp,” says Bond “Turning
it into a musical was the next logical step”
A hilarious romp
through the campy horror classic, with numbers like ‘All the Men in my
Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons’ and ‘Do the
Necronomicon’, Just For Laughs and Dueling Egos Inc. are thrilled to
present a bigger, badder and bloodier Toronto Preview of Evil Dead 1 &
2: The Musical.
"It’s a bloody good time . . . In a world
where Little Shop of Horrors gets revived on Broadway, there's got to be room
for Evil Dead 1 & 2: The Musical" Richard Ouzounian, The Toronto Star
