Demons are dancing, chainsaws are revving and Sydney’s about to get soaked—Evil Dead The Musical has arrived. Finally, Evil Dead The Musical crashes into the Seymour Centre this February, fusing Sam Raimi’s legendary 80s horror cult classic with high-octane rock numbers and a tidal wave of stage gore that’ll leave you grinning through the mess.
The creative minds behind The Play That Goes Wrong reimagine the Evil Dead saga in spectacular style: five adventurous uni mates retreat to a decrepit cabin deep in the woods, unwittingly awaken a malevolent force from the Necronomicon, and trigger a frenzy of possessions, dismemberments and demon-induced mayhem.
Enter Ash, the ordinary housewares salesman who morphs into a wisecracking warrior with a chainsaw hand, trusty shotgun and unshakeable grit—battling it out across 120 pulse-pounding minutes, complete with a 20-minute interval to catch your breath (and wipe off the fake blood).
Sitting In The Splatter Zone
Daredevils in the front Rows A-B snag Splatter Zone seats for $99 (souvenir poncho included), but brace for a full-on drenching in blood and water—producers advise junk clothes only, no bags or phones (they’re not liable for ruined gear!). Rows C-D flirt with flying splashes during the wildest bits; settle in Rows E and beyond for prime viewing without needing a shower.
Seats vanish quick with sold-out weekend mats and limited openers like Friday, 20th February 7:30pm—lock in A Reserve at $89, snag Groovy Tuesday deals ($79-$89) or go for the full splash before the season wraps 14 March 2026 (extended dates through 21st).
Critics Gone Evil
Audiences and reviewers alike lose their minds over the show’s infectious blend of comedy, horror, and tunes. Indeed, The Toronto Star hails it as “bloody hilarious,” The New York Times proclaims it “the next Rocky Horror Show,” Broadway World raves it’s “freaking awesome,” and The Hollywood Reporter urges you to “put on your Evil Dead tee-shirt and go.” Horror nuts, musical lovers or laugh chasers—everyone walks away happy from this groovy, genre-bending riot.
Catch Evil Dead The Musical at the Reginald Theatre, Seymour Centre, from 20th February to 14th March 2026. And so, put on your flannel, grab your mates and a rain poncho—because this show raises the dead and slays them right after.
