Episode Details

What kind of a musical uses 10-15 gallons of fake blood per show?! Why it is of course Pittsburgh Musical Theater's production of Evil Dead: The Musical, running until October 26th at the West End Canopy. Director Nick Mitchell, and actor Brett Goodnack, discuss in this episode about the logistical challenges for this production, and how it takes pieces from all of the Evil Dead movies and TV shows to create a fun musical. They also reminisce about their first collaboration together on this production 5 years ago, and why this musical resonates with so many that it keeps coming back year-after-year.
