In this comedic take on the 1980s horror franchise, characters and demons sing and dance to songs written specifically for the musical.

The musical takes creative liberty with the plot line of the movies, mixing together the characters and concepts of all three, as well as changing sequences for the sake of the stage and comedic intent.

During the Northeast Blackout of 2003, the intransigent cast and crew performed the show on the front lawn of the Tranzac club in Toronto.

Make-up and special FX were created by Louis Zakarian, whose film credits include Requiem for a Dream, Dogma and Romeo + Juliet.

The cast was as follows: Evil Dead returned to Toronto, again starring Ryan Ward as Ash, at the Diesel Playhouse starting May 1, 2007.

[3] A 20th anniversary production ran at the Randolph Theatre from October 5, 2024 to January 5, 2025, starring Aaron Robinson as Ash, Aimée Tremblay Woodman as Cheryl, Pascale Behrman as Annie/Shelly, Duncan Lang as Jake, Jean Blandon as Scott, Kendra Marie Brophy as Linda, Charlie Clements as Ed/Moose, David Fox as Fake Shemp/Male Swing, and Taryn Wichenko as Female Swing.

[4] Over 300 productions of Evil Dead The Musical have since been staged by professional, amateur and school theatre groups throughout North America and around the world in cities including Seoul (2008), Tokyo, and Madrid (2012).

Due to the nature of the show, including the addition of 100 seat splatter zone, audience interaction, multi-media elements, and state of the art effects, lights, and sound, the name was altered slightly to include "Ultimate 4D Experience" to reflect production and design elements that separate the production from other stagings of the show.

Licensing rights for a high school version of Evil Dead The Musical with "none of the swearing, all of the blood" were made available by Dramatic Publishing Company following a world-premiere production at Stagedoor Manor in Loch Sheldrake, New York in the Jack Romano Playhouse on July 28, 2017.

The show received rave reviews from critics and fans alike, and as such the production was brought back to Las Vegas for another successful run in January 2012.

The Oshawa producers were preparing to open a brand-new production, which was to boast a revamped design and enhanced special effects, in April 2020 in a planned 32-week run, but were unable to begin pre-production due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bringing Broadway actors into the forests of Virginia, this unique production has garnered critical acclaim and a massive audience following.

The cast included Garrett Summitt (Ash), Kay Joyce (Cheryl), Hannah Sharpe (Annie/Shelly), Sierra Hobbs (Linda), Christopher Holloway (Scott/Moose), Fiama Mastrangelo (Ed), Michael Daw (Jake), Darren Campbell (Lead Demon), David Matthews (Professor Knowby), and Marianne del Gallego (Headless Linda).
