Evil Dead the Musical is on its way back for a fifth groovy, gory year at Pittsburgh Musical Theater’s West End Canopy.
The cast for fall 2024 includes Brett Goodnack as Ash, a housewares employee turned demon-killing hero, along with Sabina May (Cheryl), Zanny Laird (Shelly/Annie), Brecken Newton Farrell (Scott), Kamilah Lay (Linda), Michael Zak (Jake), Ben Nadler (Ed) and Damon Oliver Jr. (Knowby). The ensemble features Collin Yates, Anya Epstein and Jordan Drake.
“I’m absolutely gobsmacked that this giant risk of a show has evolved into a bloody tradition here in Pittsburgh,” said director Nick Mitchell. “Each year the show is infused with fresh blood – pun Intended – and to be the director of such an amazing cast, crew and creative team, with the full support of PMT, is quite the privilege.”
Evil Dead the Musical combines elements of the madcap movies – Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and The Army of Darkness: “Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force
that turns them all into demons. It’s up to Ash and his trusty chainsaw to save the day.”
Evil Dead the Musical contains campy gore and fake blood, and, for those who crave an in-your-face experience, “splatter zone” seats might be the ticket for you.
