The Theatre

First off, an apology to any of my 5 readers for being so slow to update lately, 2 of you were visiting and then we've had a bit of a cold in the apartment lately so everythings been a little sedate and behind pace, but I'll try and get things regular again.
So being patrons of the arts, Kathryn and I went to see the Evil Dead Musical around Halloween which combines the best of 'Evil Dead 1 + 2' and 'Army of Darkness' into a campy two act musical.
Anyone familiar with the material should understand exactly whats going on when a zombie moose head starts driving a one armed man insane... in song. The songs are all uniformly hilarious and the acting is campy and winking-at-the-audience enough that its thoroughly enjoyable throughout and I would recommend it to any fan of the movies.
Like all great artforms, this musical also incorporates a 'splash zone' in which the first 5 rows cost extra but result in you being doused constantly in fake blood. We sat one row behind this area so we could enjoy watching other people get it but not quite have to go through it ourselves.
