Evil Dead: The Musical

Yes, Evil Dead...is now...a musical.

My brother, David, did the set designs for the show. The New York Times review includes a slide show of Dave talking about the look of the play. (Click on the zombie photo on the left.) My favorite lines from the review are, "Evil Dead: The Musical wants to be the next Rocky Horror Show, and it just may succeed" and, "Sure, the show is idiotic, but that's the point." Apparently it's all the rage to wear a white t-shirt and be caught in the blood splash zone. I haven't seen it yet but I plan to soon.


For those with more erudite taste, Dave is also working on the revival Stephen Sondheim's of Company. I'm very much looking forward to it. It will be directed by John Doyle who directed last year's haunting revival of Sweeny Todd.
