Thanks for the input everyone! And tazber, I actually have only seen Evil Dead II but I did enjoy it! I also absolutely loved Drag Me To Hell, which I am told is Sam Raimi returning to his roots from Evil Dead. I think I would definitely enjoy this!
Yeah, this was one show that left me scratching my head as to why it closed so soon. It was absolutely wonderful! The Toxic Avenger tried to follow suit but failed to reach the pure joy of Evil Dead the Musical.

Question, I am a huge fan of the film and was curious of if it does deviate from the film script, since it is on stage, and to what degree? I would love to see this.
it deviates from the movies, because its NOT the movies. Its a musical. New "original" book. It has some of your favorite lines that you expect (THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!, SHOP SMART, SHOP S-MART! etc)
The plot is basically the combined evil dead movies (1 and 2) into one stage musical. Its awesome.
All The Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons has to be one of my favorite musical theatre songs...
I also have to say the off-Broadway production had a FANTASTIC design... that set and lights were really well done and the costumes totally captured the campiness of it all.
I saw it in Washington DC and had so much fun. I was DRENCHED in blood and the songs were very catchy.
