Evil Dead: The Musical is based upon the cult film of the same title staring Bruce Campbell.
Several college students spend the weekend in an abandoned cabin in the woods, accidentally unleashing an evil terror. In this comedic take on the 80’s horror franchise, characters and demons sing and dance to songs written specifically for the musical as well as parodying songs from other musicals…. and, as in the films, Ash is there to dish out his various one liners and fight the never ending Army of darkness.

In 1810, Saartje Baartman, dubbed The Venus Hottentot, a young black woman with an enormous posterior, is lured away from her menial job in South Africa to tour the world and make lots of money. Once in England, however, she is sold to a freak show and becomes a star. She shows off her attribute, bringing in crowds and raking in money for the side show owners. Quickly becoming adept at showing herself, and figuring out what the people want, she even tries to break out on her own, but can't quite master that in those social times. Eventually, she is procured by a white doctor who is more than fascinated with her. He falls in love with her and keeps her as his mistress until he is in danger of losing his medical reputation and social standing. Venus, who journeyed to Europe with high hopes, at the end of her short life, was dissected by the man she loved.
