Gore, Horror and Fun at PMT’s production of ‘Evil Dead the Musical’

onStage Pittsburgh: As October falls upon us, Pittsburghers typically seek their favorite haunted houses, Halloween costumes, and of course, everything pumpkin-flavored. However, Pittsburgh Musical Theater (PMT) offers another way to revel in all things Fall, gore, horror, and fun this Halloween season. Evil Dead the Musical kicked off PMT’s 2022-23 season on September 30th and runs through October 22nd.

With fall and spooky season already here I am so excited that the local theater is bringing halloween vibes to the stage. My roommate and I already had plans to see Evil Dead The Musical but now I am even more excited to see what this show holds. Small Campy and Kitschy shows I feel are often undervalued in place of either larger or more serious works or written off as only for low budget theater. Though I have seen and been a part of some wonderful low budget campy shows such as Young Frankenstein which gives off similar spooky energy, campy shows have a place in larger more repository style theaters as well. The idea of an outdoor show this late in the season is both exciting and worrying to me as it is getting colder which means that audience members have to come prepared to be comfortable.
