Hey Sam –
Love the site and the updates. Wanted to throw some info your way.
Actor pals in NYC this past week went to auditions for Evil Dead the Musical…. yep seriously.
I guess the project has been around for a while. I know from other pals in the theatre business that they have reworked it some to focus on the first two films and only reference Army of Darkness. If you do a search on line for it you will see a ton of review and articles about the smaller productions around the country.
From what I have heard this current audition though is a larger Toronto production planned for this summer with a move to Off-Broadway in NYC in the fall.
Seemed right up Slice of Sci-Fi’s alley 
I have included links I found to some of the smaller productions:
“Undead Can Dance” from the Montreal Mirror -
A blog that re-copied the casting notice written up on May 16th:
“What’s Good/What Blows in New York Theater” -

Evil Dead the musical...Interesting.
As long as there's no "Thriller" dance...
I saw it when it was in Toronto - it was brilliant. There actually was a dance based on the moves from "Thriller", but it wasn't the Thriller dance.
I saw it in Montreal two years ago... it's like, the BEST F***ING MUSICAL EVER!!! And... it's also part of what led to me and my current boyfriend falling in love...
Is this musical coming to Toronto in 2006 or at a future date?
I would be intested in knowing more if anyone has additional information.
thanx,
