Evil Dead The Musical

Brace yourself for a night of blood, laughs, and show-stopping musical numbers as Evil Dead The Musical takes over Portsmouth's beloved Seacoast Repertory Theatre this October. Based on Sam Raimi's iconic cult horror films, this outrageously entertaining production follows Ash and friends to a remote cabin in the woods where demonic forces are unleashed — and the only way to survive is to sing about it. With chainsaws, slapstick horror, and an infectious energy that has made this show a Halloween season phenomenon, it's the perfect blend of fright and delight for fans of the macabre and the melodic alike. Running across multiple performances throughout October 2026 — including Thursday through Saturday showings on the weekends of October 8–10 and October 15–17 — this production gives audiences plenty of chances to catch the mayhem. The Seacoast Repertory Theatre, a cherished cornerstone of Portsmouth's vibrant arts scene, provides an intimate and electric atmosphere that makes every splatter and punchline land with maximum impact. Some performances even feature a notorious 'Splatter Zone' where brave front-row audience members are invited to get gloriously doused in stage blood. Whether you're a die-hard Evil Dead devotee, a musical theatre enthusiast looking for something delightfully twisted, or simply in search of the most fun Halloween outing on the Seacoast, this show delivers on every front. Sing along to wildly catchy songs, revel in the over-the-top theatrical horror, and join a crowd of like-minded thrill-seekers for a night you absolutely will not forget. Grab your tickets before they're devoured by the deadites.
