Evil Dead LIVES!!

Evil Dead isn't....well, dead I suppose. I got word off their Myspace page that the production is going to reopen in Toronto. Don't know all the details but visit their myspace to find out. Myspace.com/evildeadthemusical, I'm definitly gonna have to make the trip up to see it again. I wonder if they'll bring in an all canadian cast? Seems likely since Canadian Actors Equity has pretty stringent laws to protect jobs for canadian actors. Either way it'll be a blast and I'm glad to see it's not dead and burried, if you'll excuse the pun.

It starts previews May 1st and opens May 8 at the Diesel Playhouse. Runs through June 23 as of right now.
Christopher Bond returns to direct and Ryan Ward will reprise Ash.
Auditions are this week in Toronto for a Canadian cast.

Based on some of the other tracks, I'm going to say they recorded some of the "famous" lines from the show - like "boomstick" and "groovy."

The only song that was cut from the show (minus all the lyrical changes made for the better) was the finale - which found Ash back in Medieval times, as in the third movie, I believe.

that Canadian actors - where the show began - aren't thinking "Stupid Cnadian Equity"

Hinton Battle must have worked wonders on the show - or the budget increased - or both. Because the original Toronto run was missing something. That something was exactly what the NY production found.
