This means that theatres around the world will be able to purchase the rights to perform this rock musical. Licensing availability is expected to be available in the spring.
Evil Dead The Musical pulls pieces from Army of Darkness, The Evil Dead, and its remake/sequel Evil Dead 2 for a gory adventure put to music. In an adventure gone wrong, five college students accidentally release an evil upon themselves, turning them into demons.
