Has Broadway Finally Gone too Far?

I am a huge fan of musicals; however, in its ever increasing demand for new entertainments, the fan base may have finally pushed Broadway over the line. I found this on Broadway.com.

One of the most popular cult film series of all time is now an off-the-wall off-Broadway musical.

Ready for a bloody good time at the theater? Evil Dead: The Musical is on its way! The story is simple: Boy and his friends take a weekend getaway at an abandoned cabin, boy expects to get lucky, boy unleashes ancient evil spirit, friends turn into Candarian Demons and boy fights until dawn to survive, trusty chainsaw in hand. The mayhem escalates in musical numbers like 'All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons,' 'Look Who's Evil Now' and 'Do the Necronomicon.'

This hilarious new show combines the fun of the '80s horror films Evil Dead I and Evil Dead 2 to create the craziest theatrical experience to hit New York in a long time. Blood with fly. Limbs will be lost. Demons will tell bad jokes. And everybody will sing and dance. You don't have to be a fan of horror to enjoy the chilling experience of Evil Dead: The Musical—live at off-Broadway's New World Stages.”
What have we come too?
