Look who’s evil now! June 21
I went to see the most fantastic musical ever - Evil Dead:The musical (and I hate musicals). It was amazingly funny and surprising and pays homage to a great flick. The cast is endearing and absolutely perfect in each part.
But other then plugging the play allow me to bring you to the real reason I am writing: Product Placement.
In the first few scenes that players are going to the cottage and they have brought with them their beer - Steam Whistle - and food - Pizza Pizza. Not too odd, except that the only beer they were serving on tap was Steamwhistle and the Pizza they sold was Pizza Pizza (sidetnote: Yes, you can eat and drink while watching the play. Isn’t that stellar?)
Since the musical was so darned entertaining I don’t find the Product Placement annoying; I find it clever.

Friggin’ awesome show!! I didn’t mind the product placement either. I find that the way they did it was fairly cheesy, but that it lent itself the the whole cheesiness of the Evil Dead franchise. Brilliantly done!
