The classic cult film comes to life on stage in one of the craziest, funniest and bloodiest theatrical experiences of all time as five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-killing hero) and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies, limbs are dismembered and demons tell bad jokes…and all to music.
