From September 27 through October 26, Pittsburgh Musical Theater (PMT) presents Evil Dead The Musical. The production combines cult classic films The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness into one crazy theatrical experience that those on the inside promise will provide a hilarious, unforgettable, rollicking good time. The shows take place in an outdoor, covered venue (West End Canopy), and are presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). It's inappropriate for younger audiences, though highly encouraged for all open-minded adult theatergoers.

Actor Brett Goodnack sells the production as "two straight hours of catchy songs, slapstick humor, tongue-in-cheek (and not-so-tongue-in-cheek) references and some genuinely impressive stage tricks." Zanny Laird calls the production "one wildride full of campy hilarity and blood." She adds, "If you love horror or even just Halloween, like me, this is the show for you."

“Evil Dead at PMT started out as a bit of an experiment, expanding programming with respect to both content and "Late Night" curtains. What we learned was that audiences wanted more of their favorite deadites! Over the last five years, Evil Dead The Musical at PMT has evolved from an experiment into a tradition. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by the kind of talent on stage and on the production team who loves this crazy, campy piece and strives to find every new laugh, squeeze out a little more blood, and continue to create the world of Ash and those pesky Candarian Demons!” says director Nick Mitchell.
