In the original Evil Dead 2 (half the basis of the musical) Ash is sucked into the portal with the demons and lands in Medieval times, however the play skips the medieval plot and cuts straight to the ending of the 3rd film where Ash ends up at S-Mart and kills a demon in front of all the customers which proves he was telling the truth about his adventures.

One of the main selling points of the musical is the amount of blood in it, mocking the absurd amounts seen in the films it's based on. The blood is fake of course. Actors will intentionally splash fake blood (usually Kool-Aid) out into the front row which is sectioned off as a splash zone which people can pay extra to sit in

Main character Ash has to chop his possessed hand off with a chainsaw, however this isn't seen directly on stage and the action is hidden behind a bookshelf instead. However a scene where a possessed Linda, Ash's girlfriend, gets her head sliced off which is achieved with a body double and a mannequin head.

While the original film has maggots and cockroaches, a stage play can't really replicate that.

Ash's friend Scott constantly rats on Ash's sister Cheryl in an fashion made to exaggerate the same dynamic in the original film. In reality, Cheryl is being reasonably scared and Scott's just being a d**k something he does to literally everyone he meets in the play.

While the opening song mentions liquor and rye, no such alcohol is seen in the play.

The first movie has a scene where a woman is assaulted by a tree; while it isn't graphically shown in the musical, it IS alluded to and shown similarly

There are multiple references to sex throughout the play whether direct or indirect. However, no one gets it on on stage.

While no heads are squashes, Linda gets her disembodied head sliced to bits by a chainsaw. Of course it's behind a bookshelf and hidden from the audience.

There is a mounted Deer head that gets possessed and sings a song but is not confirmed to be a real deer head and no animals are shown to be dead or dying in any other scene.

Unless you count possession of a mounted Deer head to be abuse than no.
