Auditions for Evil Dead, The Musical

Monday, Aug 1 and Tuesday Aug 2, from 7:00-9:00pm in Bldg 2, THE GRAND VISION CHILDREN'S THEATRE AT KVPAC

Directed by Jason Howard

By George Reinblatt
Performances scheduled in the Magyar Main Theatre at KVPAC on the Kennedy Grand Stage

Performance dates are September 30, October 1 & 2, 2016
All shows begin at 8:00pm, except for Sunday which is a matinee beginning at 2:00pm

Show Synopsis:
Based on Sam Raimi's 80s cult classic films, EVIL DEAD tells the tale of 5 college kids who travel to a cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force. And although it may sound like a horror, it's not! The songs are hilariously campy and the show is bursting with more farce than a Monty Python skit. EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL unearths the old familiar story: boy and friends take a weekend getaway at abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons, boy fights until dawn to survive. As musical mayhem descends upon this sleepover in the woods, "camp" takes on a whole new meaning with uproarious numbers like "All the Men in my Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons," "Look Who's Evil Now" and "Do the Necronomicon."

CAST OF CHARACTERS:

Ash (Male – Tenor/Baritone): Age range 18 - 25. The hero and iconic character of the musical. This devoted S-Mart housewares employee evolves over the course of the show from a cowardly college student to a wise cracking deadite slayer with his detachable hand chainsaw and 12 gauge “boomstick.”

Linda (Female – Mezzo-Soprano): Age range 18 - 25. The prototypical girl next door. Linda is sweet, thoughtful, and completely devoted to Ash, until she turns evil and tries to kill him. She laughs an annoyingly inordinate amount of time after transforming.

Cheryl (Female – Mezzo-Soprano): Age range 18 - 25. Ash’s sister and the odd woman out in the group. Looking to spend a week relaxing, she is the recipient of Scotty’s jokes and torment. The only one to sense the evil surrounding the cabin, she is the first to be possessed, turning her into an aggressive, foul mouthed demon that speaks in very bad puns. Spends the majority of the show locked in the cellar.

Scotty (Male – Tenor/Baritone): Age range 18 - 25. Good looking, cocky, a prankster and Ash’s best friend. Has a particularly misguided resentment for Cheryl. Thinks himself the brave one until he’s forced to kill, then his panic leads him to flee. He returns to warn Ash about the woods and attempts to help his friend even as he is knocking on death’s door.

Shelly (Female – Mezzo-Soprano): Age range 18 - 25. Beautiful, easy, and not too smart. Very easily distracted. She is Scotty’s latest fling and looking to party. Just because she becomes an evil demon doesn’t mean she can’t look good doing it!

Annie (Female – Mezzo-Soprano): Age range 18 - 25. Quite the overbearing explorer who finds missing pages to the Necronomicon and wants to reunite with her father to continue their research. Very bossy and drawn to Ash. Must be comfortable in a tear away semi-revealing costume.

Ed (Male – Tenor/Baritone): Age range 18 - 25. Annie’s coworker, boyfriend, and doormat. He travels with her to the cabin to proceed with their research of the book of the dead. After turning evil, his confidence may lack but this “Bit Part Demon” is ready to sing!

Jake (Male – Tenor/Baritone): Age range 18 - 35. Stereotypical Southerner and reliable enough to help Annie and Ed find the path to the cabin, but too stupid and stubborn to listen to reason that will keep him alive.

Fake Shemp (Male - Tenor/Baritone): Any age range. This character plays every part not played by another actor, including a possessed, singing, Candarian Demon moose head, Professor Knowby (Annie's father and researcher of the Necronomicon who appears as a ghost and voice-over throughout the show), a severed hand, a possessed tree, and more...

Please be prepared to perform 16 bars of any Rock/Pop style song and a 1-minute comedic monologue.
