Synopsis:
Based on Sam Raimi’s 80s cult classic films, EVIL DEAD tells the tale of 5 college
students who travel to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force.
And although it may sound like a horror story, it’s not! The songs are hilariously
campy and the show is bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. EVIL
DEAD: THE MUSICAL unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a
weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes
ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to
survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, “camp”
takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like “All the Men in my
Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons,” “Look Who’s Evil Now”, and “Do
the Necronomicon”.
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:
Come prepared to do cold readings from the script. Bring in 16-32 bars from a
show, NOT from EVIL DEAD, in a similar style showcasing appropriate range.
Bring sheet music, or cd. Come dressed to move and dance. Please see included
character descriptions and vocal ranges.
Ash (Male): The hero and iconic character of the musical. This devoted S-Mart
housewares employee evolves over the course of the show from a cowardly college
student to a wise cracking deadite slayer with his detachable hand chainsaw and 12
gauge “boomstick.”
Linda (Female): The prototypical girl next door. Linda is sweet, thoughtful, and
completely devoted to Ash, until she turns evil and tries to kill him. She laughs an
annoyingly inordinate amount of time after transforming.
Cheryl (Female): Ash’s sister and the odd woman out in the group. Looking to
spend a week relaxing, she is the recipient of Scotty’s jokes and torment. The only
one to sense the evil surrounding the cabin, she is the first to be possessed, turning
her into an aggressive, foul mouthed demon that speaks in very bad puns. Spends
the majority of the show locked in the cellar.
Scotty (Male): Good looking, cocky, a prankster and Ash’s best friend. Thinks
himself the brave one until he’s forced to kill, then his panic leads him to flee. He
returns to warn Ash about the woods and attempts to help his friend even as he is
knocking on death’s door.
Shelly (Female): Beautiful, easy, and not too smart. She is Scotty’s latest fling and
looking to party. Just because she becomes an evil demon doesn’t mean she can’t
look good doing it!
Annie (Female): Quite the overbearing explorer who finds missing pages to the
Necronomicon and wants to reunite with her father to continue their research.
Very bossy and drawn to Ash. Must be comfortable in a tear away semi-revealing
costume.
Ed (Male): Annie’s coworker, boyfriend, and doormat. He travels with her to the
cabin to proceed with their research of the book of the dead. After turning evil, his
confidence may lack but this “Bit Part Demon” is ready to sing!
Jake (Male): Stereotypical Southerner and reliable enough to help Annie and Ed
find the path to the cabin, but too stupid and stubborn to listen to reason that will
keep him alive.
Moose (Male): A possessed, singing, Candarian Demon moose head! That enough
makes it awesome, except once moose get going they never stop!
Professor Knowby (Non-singing): Annie’s father and researcher of the
Necronomicon. Traveled to cabin to continue his research on the book and
mistakenly released the evil that dwelled within the woods. He appears twice in the
show but is heard at various times as a Voice-Over recording on the tape.
