Five college students decide to spend some time in a cabin in the woods. They unleash demons, and sing and dance about it.
!!This musical has examples of:
%%* ActionDressRip: Parodied.
* BitPartBadguys: Invoked by Ash regarding Ed. Then doubly subverted, because Ed gets a song - "Bit-Part Demon" - before he gets shot, likely because not being a Bit Part Bad Guy meant he really was a potential threat. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Ash immediately afterward.
--> '''Ash''': Now you'll have a bit part... in hell!
* BlatantLies: Jake's song "Good Old Reliable Jake" is filled with these. He claims to be a pro basketball player, to have won an Oscar for directing ''Film/{{Platoon}}'', written Creator/JackieChan's autobiography, and coined the phrase "fo shizzle, my nizzle!"
%%* CartwrightCurse: "All the men in my life keep getting killed by Candarian demons!"
* ClothingDamage: Parodied, with lots of "Oh no, now my [X] is torn" by the heroine. Followed by her ripping the offending bit of clothing off.
%%* DanceSensation: "Dooo the Necronomicon. The Necronomicon."
%%* TheDeadCanDance: "Do the Necronomicon"
%%* DontGoInTheWoods: "Cabin in the Woods"
* DoomMagnet: Annie is portrayed as this. She complains of a "trend" in her life where all the men she knows are killed by Candarian demons, mentioning her father and fiance. When Ash points out that's only two people, she goes on to clarify at length.
* HurricaneOfPuns: Unleashed after Ash chainsaws his possessed hand off. His Deadite sister then starts mocking him with a barrage of ridiculous {{Pun}}s on 'hands'.
* IAmBecomingSong: "I'm Not A Killer", where Ash [[spoiler: brings himself to kill his possessed girlfriend]] and "It's Time", where Ash finally mans up into the demon-slayer we know and love. "Look Who's Evil Now" also counts for [[spoiler: Shelly]].
* IAmSong: "Good Old Reliable Jake" and "Bit Part Demon", although "Good Old Reliable Jake" is consist of nothing but BlatantLies.
* LamePunReaction: Deadite Cheryl speaks in nearly nothing but puns, to Ash's annoyance.
-->'''Cheryl''': I’ll get you, Ash! I’m like a literal Wrestling/HulkHogan... I’ll get you, brother!
-->'''Ash''': Shut up!
-->'''Cheryl''': We’re like that Columbia House 'Ten CD’s for a Penny' club. Sooner or later, you’ll ''join us!''
-->'''Ash''': Shut up!
-->'''Cheryl''': I’m like Creator/DomDeLuise at an all-you-can-eat fish house. I’ll swallow your 'sole'!
-->'''Ash''': God, shut up!
-->'''Cheryl''': It’ll be like you were killed by some guy whose first name happens to be Dawn, so you’ll be dead... by Dawn!
-->'''Ash''': That is ''it!''
* LampshadeHanging: The musical does quite a bit of it. It even points out the inconsistency with [[spoiler:Ash being brought back from the curse from seeing Linda's necklace... even though Linda is a Deadite now]].
* MauveShirt: Parodied by Ed The Bit Part Demon.
-->'''Ed:''' I'm that guy you see in every horror flick/You probably don't remember me, I come and go too quick
-->'''Linda (a main character):''' We've listened to you talk for the past two minutes! You said a whole lot just now, just you! Aw, you're not a bit part demon any more, you're a lead player! A ''star!''
-->'''Ed:''' You're right! Now I see that this thread has been disrupted/I've said more than five words without being inturrupted/I'm a bit part no more, my character's had a swing/Now it's time for this demon to sing, sing, ''singgggggggggggg, I''
-->* gunshot*
-->'''Ash:''' Now you'll have a bit part, in hell!
* MusicalisInterruptus: Ed, a person who gets constantly interrupted dialogue-wise and later gets turned into "the bit-part demon" because of it, is about to break out into his own musical number, and is promptly shot by Ash.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: Jake, Ed and Annie walk in to find Ash sawing Shelly's head off with [[ChainsawGood a chainsaw]]. Coupled with everything else that's happened, and [[RoomFullOfCrazy the room covered in blood and gore]], all Ash can say to them is "this isn't as bad as it looks." SmashToBlack for intermission.
* TheSongBeforeTheStorm: "It's Time". The gist of the song is that Ash has decided it's time to man-up and kick a whole mess of ass. In the next few scenes, he kills things that are immortal.
* SoundEffectBleep: One musical number has a line that goes "And then we'll take that chainsaw and we'll shove it up your-" "Ash!" which is a bit of a moot point, since there's musical numbers titled "Stupid Bitch" and "What the Fuck Was That?"
* TitleTheAdaptation: ''Evil Dead: '''The Musical!'''''
* ViewersAreGoldfish: Lampshaded. Act I ends with a long sun solo consisting of "Die, DIE!" repeated fifteen times -- and it lasts for nearly 45 seconds -- while Ash kills his former girlfriend's zombie head, a pile of other zombie bodies in the corner. Act II begins with the exact same solo, but the head is obviously fake, and the place has been cleaned up. When other characters demand to know how this "isn't as bad as it looks", Ash replies: "At least there isn't a pile of bodies in the corner anymore."
%%* VillainRecruitmentSong: "Join Us"
* VillainSong: "Join Us", a bouncy upbeat song extolling the virtues of submitting to the Evil Dead.
