(56 Blue Jays Way, Toronto)TORONTO, July 18 /CNW/ - EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL, winner of Toronto's
favorite show as the 2007 Dora's Audience Choice Award, is pleased to announce
today its final extension to September 8th. To celebrate the show's tremendous
success, actor Bruce Campbell - the original 'Ash' and star of the Evil Dead
movies - will be attending two shows and participating in audience talk-backs
on Saturday, August 11th following the 7PM and 11PM performances. Bruce
Campbell has a devoted legion of fans and is a pop-culture icon due to his
role as 'Ash' in Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness
coining phrases such as "This is my Boomstick!" and "Good...Bad... I'm the guy
with the gun". Of course, current Sam Raimi fans will also remember Campbell
from his memorable array of roles in Raimi's three Spiderman movies.
Jeffrey Latimer, Producer of EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL, said today, "The
show's wild success and Audience Choice Award is due to mainstream
theatre-goers finally coming to enjoy a hilarious night out at the theatre.
July 27th will be our 100th show and what better way to celebrate our success
and to thank our die-hard fans than to bring Bruce Campbell to Toronto
straight from the set of his new series, Burn Notice - now shooting in Miami."
As part of an ongoing fan appreciation campaign, EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL
followers have a special opportunity to purchase tickets for Bruce Campbell's
audience talk-back. Tickets to both August 11th Bruce Campbell performances
will go on sale in person only at the Diesel Playhouse on Saturday, July 21st
at 1PM with remaining tickets available to the general public at 4PM. The Evil
Dead trilogy of films has a loyal cult following that has spilled over onto
EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL which has in turn created another genre for fans to
follow. Devotees of both the musical and the movies will be thrilled to have
Bruce Campbell in person at the show.
Since opening, EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL has amazed audiences and has
incited fans to return again and again. The show has enjoyed a critically
acclaimed run in Toronto and critics have been giving the show 4 Star reviews.EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL LEAVES TORONTO DUE TO OFF-BROADWAY HIT JEWTOPIA
