musical theatre to die for
Nov. 3rd, 2006 10:36 pmThe NYT reviews theatre I really want to see.
“Evil Dead: The Musical” wants to be the next “Rocky Horror Show,” and it just may succeed.
...
Their most rousing number, “Do the Necronomicon,” cheerfully evokes “The Time Warp” from “Rocky Horror.” But the musical high point is Annie Knowby’s doo-wop ballad “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons.” (Annie, the scientist’s-beautiful-daughter character, is played by Renée Klapmeyer.)
Truly devoted cultists may want to sit in the splatter section, the first three rows. Those seats are covered in clear plastic, and the audience may want to be too, although apparently half the fun is to wear a clean white T-shirt and spend the next two hours being sprayed with geysers of stage blood.
