ASH 

(Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Tenor/High Baritone)
Our hero — a sarcastic, confident, sometimes clueless S-Mart employee who becomes the ultimate Deadite slayer. Strong comedic timing, physical energy, and a solid vocal foundation with belt capabilities.

CHERYL 

(Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, Mezzo/Soprano)
Ash’s sister — bookish, awkward, and the first to be possessed. A comedic powerhouse who transforms from timid to terrifying. MUST BE COMFORTABLE WITH PHYSICAL COMEDY/MOVEMENT/CHOREOGRAPHY AND CHARACTER VOICES.

LINDA 

(Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, Mezzo-Soprano)
Ash’s sweet girlfriend with a big heart (and an even bigger scream). Romantic and playful — until things go undead. Needs great chemistry with Ash and strong vocal chops.

SCOTT 

(Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Tenor)
Ash’s best friend — the loudmouth, macho comic relief who thinks he’s the hero… until he’s not. Great for someone with confidence, charisma, and killer comedic instincts.

SHELLY 

(Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, 

Mezzo with strong belt)
Scott’s girlfriend — a sexy, snarky, and self-absorbed diva who meets a hilariously messy end. Big personality, strong movement, and a flair for camp.

ANNIE 

(Female-Presenting, 20s–40s, Soprano with belt)
A determined archaeologist and scholar who knows way too much about ancient evil. Intelligent, fierce, and just as ready to fight as Ash. A strong leading lady with great comedic presence.

ED 

(Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Baritone/Tenor)
Annie’s mild-mannered boyfriend who gets a little too close to the book of the dead. Must balance sweet and sinister — strong comedic EXPRESSIVE actor as most of the show he is kept from talking because of Annie.

JAKE 

(Male-Presenting, 20s–40s, Baritone)
A rough, rugged local who knows his way around the woods. Think country tough guy with a golden heart (and a short fuse). Comic timing essential.

PROFESSOR KNOWBY 

(Male-Presenting, 20s - 90s, non-singing)

Father to Annie and the initial one to read from the book of the dead. The role requires a stoic and at times booming voice with a certain amount of gravitas. Usually also performs in the ensemble.

ENSEMBLE / DEADITES
The demonic, possessed, singing-and-dancing undead! Big movement, strong harmonies, and commitment to full-throttle, over-the-top fun. This group brings the chaos — and the blood.

Evil Dead the Musical has become a London cult favorite, selling out every year and earning a devoted fanbase of screaming, laughing audiences who can’t get enough of the splatter zone.

Whether you’re a returning cast member or a fresh victim of the Necronomicon, this is your chance to be part of a wild, high-energy production that’s equal parts rock concert, comedy show, and horror spectacular.
