Toronto - Evil dead
So ive had an awesome and intense few days. So i thought id start with the best of the few days. Evil dead the musical!It was bloody (and i mean that in both sense of the word) fantastic. This was of course my second time seeing it, and this one was all the more enjoyable. Me and stu were bored, and i spur of the moment decided to ask “Shall we see evil dead again?”. And so we set off to the playhouse (via a quick stop to get stu’s new tongue pirecing) and booked the tickets for the splatter zone early in the day.
“Yeah ive got two front row” the clerk said. Awesome. So $40 lighter in pocket me and stu eagerly awaited the next few hours until it started. We got there bang on time, only to find that there were out two empty seats….Right at the fucking front, dead centre, inches from the actors. OMG, its as if the zombie lords themselves conspired to seat me there. Naturally i was wearing my white tee-shirt i got from the previous time.
It was just as funny as last time, thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish and some of the lines were hysterical.
Halfway through one song ” Do the necronomicon” i think, that the girl that played cheryl leaned over mid song, and said “your going to get bloodied up bitch”….That did not bode well. Anyway the last scene where ash kills all the zombies, its a blood bath, fake blood bing sprayed everywhere, but mostly in my direction. I was sat 6 inches from a blood nozzle, and whenever ash shot someone, they had capsules of blood and sprayed them at me and stu and the guy next to me. A good time was when the main zombie got shot down and was crawling towards me saying “help me, he’s trying to kill me”, although Funniest was when ash pulled the heart out of the main zombie and threw its contents right at me, going all over my hair and tee.
At the end, people were saying, omg im covered, then they look at me and find, nope he’s covered way more! People were shocked and laughing at the state of me. Im not surprised. So me and stu nabbed some evil dead t-shirts and got outside. The fake blood kept collecting on my cigarette, and i was visibly dripping from my hair. Stu made the joke; “get in a taxi and say - get me the fuck outa here”, i would have, cuz it would have scared the shit out of him. But i thought otherwise. The number of dodgy looks i got walking through downtown toronto, covered in fake blood was numerous. I laughed soo much. Best night ive had in a while, totally worth it!!
below are some of my favourite quotes from it:
ash - “this isnt as bad as it looks”
jake - “how the fuck could this not be as bad as it looks?”
ash - “well its not like theres a pile of bodies in the corner of the room……anymore”
annie - “dont you think its inappropriate to be touching me there?”
ash and jake - “i aint touching you”
ash - “argh my hand!!!!” - throws it across the room
annie “eww that was gross, who knows where thats been”
ash - “actually i do….but its still pertty gross”
annie - “why are you alone in the woods?”
jake - “well afer cheryl gettin attacked by those trees, the presense of my wife bobbie jo seemed a bit redundant…”
annie - “what did you say?”
jake - “ugh nothing!!!”
ash - “face it ed, your just a bit part demon. A demon like you would never kill a guy like me….the main man!!”
ash - “im ok, the sight of my girlfriends necklace made me allright!”
annie - “….the same necklace that your girlfriend was wearing when she was a demon?”
ash - “yeah that does seem a bit inconsistent!”
You don’t like it when Cheryl says “You’re going to get Bloodied Bitch?” I thought it was so funny!
