Description:

Strong singers, dancers, and actors for the 2025 production of "Evil Dead" the musical. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. See the details below. About the project: SYNOPSIS: It’s an old tale. You know, the 1980's. You’ve probably heard it a hundred times. Guy and his friends go on a week-long vacation in the woods. Three friends turn into Candarian demons. One friend is killed by a forest of evil trees. Two demons are killed by their boyfriends respectively, while one stays in the cellar trying to kill everything in sight. So, pretty standard stuff. This hilarious live stage show takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films, Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness then combines them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time. And did we say… blood?! There will absolutely be a splatter zone, along with the most amazing fun for both cast and audiences alike. Let it be known, this show is NOT scary. It is campy and over the top, and we love it! Additional info: Workshop info: see the document attached. Callbacks (by invitation only): Sunday, August 3rd 2025 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Rehearsals: August 6th-September 18th 2025. Tech week: September 21st – October 2nd. Performances: October 3rd-26th. Fridays and Saturdays: 7:30pm showtime. Sundays: 2:00 pm showtime.

12 roles

AshMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Tenor/Baritone): The hero and iconic character of the musical. This devoted S-Mart housewares employee evolves over the course of the show from a cowardly college student to a wisecracking deadite slayer (Deadites are a type of undead, parasitic spirit or demon that possess the living and deceased, creating monstrous ghouls or hellish zombies) with his detachable hand chainsaw and 12 gauge “boomstick.”

LindaFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Mezzo-Soprano): The girl next door. Linda is sweet, thoughtful, and completely devoted to Ash, until she turns evil and tries to kill him. She laughs an annoyingly inordinate amount of time after transforming.

CherylFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Mezzo-Soprano): Ash’s sister and the odd woman out in the group. Looking to spend a week relaxing, she is the recipient of Scotty’s jokes and torment. The only one to sense the evil surrounding the cabin, she is the first to be possessed, turning her into an aggressive, foul-mouthed demon that speaks in very bad puns. Spends the majority of the show locked in the cellar.

ScottMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Tenor/Baritone): Good looking, cocky, a prankster and Ash’s best friend. Thinks himself the brave one until he’s forced to kill, then his panic leads him to flee. He returns to warn Ash about the woods and attempts to help his friend even as he is knocking on death’s door.

ShellyFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Mezzo-Soprano): Beautiful, easy, and not too smart. She is Scotty’s latest fling and looking to party. Just because she becomes an evil demon doesn’t mean she can’t look good doing it!

AnnieFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Mezzo-Soprano): Quite the overbearing explorer who finds missing pages to the Necronomicon and wants to reunite with her father to continue their research. Very bossy and drawn to Ash. Must be comfortable in a tear away semi-revealing costume.

EdMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Tenor/Baritone): Annie’s coworker, boyfriend, and doormat. He travels with her to the cabin to proceed with their research of the book of the dead. After turning evil, his confidence may lack but this “Bit Part Demon” is ready to sing!

JakeMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Tenor/Baritone): Stereotypical Southerner and reliable enough to help Annie and Ed find the path to the cabin, but too stupid and stubborn to listen to reason that will keep him alive.

Evil TreesBoth genders18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

These are the true comedians of the show. A nasty group of trees out to get the campers and will stop at nothing, be prepared to be gross. Ensemble.

MooseMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

(Tenor/Baritone): A possessed, singing, Candarian Demon moose head. That enough makes it awesome, except once moose get going they never stop. Ensemble.

Voice OversBoth genders18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

There are also voice overs, customers, etc. that will be doubled up. What does this mean? If you are a part of the very small ensemble, you are doing A LOT of things. Ensemble.
