Fantastic by Samson_K	Oct 27th, 2006 03:44:56 AM
In New York you get The Evil Dead musical in the UK we get a three hour long Dirty Dancing musical and Daddy Cool - a musical based on the hits of Boney M!!!! Damn it and damn your revolution! Sigh!
rocky horror 2! by thegoldencalf	Oct 27th, 2006 03:46:19 AM
this should take the mantle and play all over the world!
Samson -K by Boba Fat	Oct 27th, 2006 03:48:45 AM
What we need is Daddy Cool Vs The Army Of Darkness.
There's a Deadite in the Ring? by Samson_K	Oct 27th, 2006 04:01:05 AM
It does have hatchet faced Michelle Collins in it and I am one hundred percent sure she is only one second away from jumping onto the ceiling and screeching at any given time!
Deady Cool? by Boba Fat	Oct 27th, 2006 04:10:52 AM
and "Boney M" is fine as it is.

Another disappointed UK geek by Franklin T Marmoset	Oct 27th, 2006 04:59:38 AM
This is a brilliantly ludicrous idea and it would make for a pretty great Halloween night out, I think. For some reason, when I think of this Evil Dead musical it reminds me of the Wednesday and Pugsley Shakespeare scene from one of those Addams Family films. I would very much like to see this, so let's hope it comes to England at some point (and let's hope they don't hire any ex-boyband members to play Ash).
I can so see it... by Ridge	Oct 27th, 2006 05:13:16 AM
If its as good as it sounds, it could be this generations Little Shop of Horrors, easily.
I hope whoever makes this.... by MattCG	Oct 27th, 2006 05:34:44 AM
realizes the huge market for a DVD version of it for the rest of us who cannot fucking see it.
Now for Evil Dead 4... by film_fanatic_in_the_original_bla ck_and_white	Oct 27th, 2006 05:42:54 AM

Sounds awesome... by v for vienetta	Oct 27th, 2006 08:59:40 AM
...really hope someone's smart enough to do a UK production. Splatter Zone baby!!
Saw this last week by slone13	Oct 27th, 2006 09:31:54 AM
Quite a good time. I highly recommend the "splatter zone" if you don't mind a little fake blood. The man himself, Bruce Campbell, will be doing a Q & A after the November 2nd show. They dropped the price of tickets to $25 for the rest of the run. Any Evil Dead fans in New York should defintely check it out.
Really really good! by Atomik Steve	Oct 27th, 2006 09:37:56 AM
Saw this show on their very first preview night, October 2nd. The show was fantastic! I liked the show because it was fun and didn't take itself too seriously. The guy who plays Ash is fantastic. Splatter Zone is definitely the place to be! Also, as Slone13 mentioned above, Bruce will be there for 2 shows in early November. Wish I could go again!
Guess I'll havta say it... by Cold Winter Wind	Oct 27th, 2006 10:07:58 AM

Death, dismemberment and dance numbers! by RenoNevada2000	Oct 27th, 2006 12:28:20 PM
The Broadway feel good hit of the season! Anyway, I read another good, indepth review here- http://tinyurl.com/yj9jzu
This show was awful by HarrisTelemacher	Oct 27th, 2006 12:49:16 PM
I hate to be the first to say this, but I saw this two weeks ago and was shocked at how terrible it was. Just amateurish and unfunny and a terrible wasted opportunity. I couldn't even conceive that I would leave the theater hatin this, as its a concept seemingly impossible to fuck up, but boy, did they ever. The actors mug and act "funny" the whole way through, the guy playing Ash is wretched, the whole thing stinks of pandering. It has a wildly low estimation of its target audience. Every quotation from the film (and there are way to many-like 30 or so) is delivered straight to the audience with a wink and a nod. The blood sequences are stupid-the actors just pull out a visible bladder and dump it on the front row. Save your money, do not see this. Certainly don't go come to New York just to see it. Need further proof? They actually rip off a joke from Billy Madison ("If bleeding to death is cool, consider me Miles Davis!")
I'm not one fo those people, but... by DanielKurland	Oct 27th, 2006 01:13:04 PM
Why is this a news item? This musical has been out for over a year? Why is it just being reported on now?
plant! by Argentino	Oct 27th, 2006 01:55:49 PM
naaa, I'm just jelous I live in the other side of the world and can't watch it for myself

Sounds awesome! by hedetoft	Oct 28th, 2006 07:54:39 AM
Truly! Would love to see it! Hell I would love to film this and turn it into a really nice DVD. So if you are reading this, just send me a mail and we work something out! André Hedetoft Geek Movie Director Join my Fan Club so that I get to make my next movie over at http://www.andrehedetoft.com
Sounds like a plant to me, but I'm going next Sat... by Neo Con Snake Plissken	Oct 28th, 2006 09:51:03 AM
Even if this review was a plant. So what. It still sounds like a cool idea. slone13 sounds like he's not a musical fan, which is fine. I think I would compare this to the Dad's Garage version of "Cannibal: The Musical!" Which was fucking brilliant. Then again, it was Trey Parker who wrote the songs. I don't know the backstory on the comedy writers of Evil Dead : The Musical. If you are a fan of this type of psychosis, try "Silence of the Lambs: The Musical" and sing along... Put the fucking lotion in the basket...

Whoops-sloan13 liked it. HarrisTelemacher hated it. by Neo Con Snake Plissken	Oct 28th, 2006 09:57:17 AM
Sorry sloan13. My bad.
Slap it on DVD and sell it! by ZeroCorpse	Oct 28th, 2006 12:02:56 PM
Not everyone lives in New York! Cannibal the Musical has a special place on my DVD shelf, right by the Evil Dead films. . . Adding this would fill that gap between them!
Evil Dead: The Music Video by Owns Your Brain	Oct 28th, 2006 07:32:35 PM
How about watching all three evil dead movies in 4 minutes? This was made out of NOTHING but the DVDs of the Evil Dead movies: http://tinyurl.com/zvl7g
Actually, I'm kind of a musical geek by HarrisTelemacher	Oct 28th, 2006 11:46:13 PM
Which may have had something to do with why I hated it. I was hoping for a show along the lines of Little Shop of Horrors or Batboy, but it doesn't even come close to Cannibal quality. Seriously, this show sucks all hell.
