Ed Gein, The Musical is a comedic musical film[1] and theatrical stage musical[2] about the grave robbing serial killer Ed Gein. It premiered in Wisconsin in January 2010 and starred Dan Davies (actor), who also co-produced and wrote the screenplay. It was directed by Steve Russell.[1][3] The film aired on PBS and the Retro TV Network.[4] The theatrical stage musical had a limited premiere at the Times Community Theater in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on April 4th-6th, 2025.[2]
Stage Play Adaptation
Davies began the process of adapting the film into a theatrical stage musical of the same name, which culminated in a world premiere at the Time Community Theater in Oshkosh, WI.[2][5] Davies elected not to reprise his role of Ed Gein, citing in multiple interviews that “45 years of cigars and Wisconsin beers” had taken its toll on his voice.[6][7] Davies, also citing his age, cast himself in the role of Sheriff Murdock, ceding the role of Gein to local award winning Milwaukee film actor, director, and writer Ezekiel N. Drews.[8]
The theatrical production, helmed by Deborah Ransbottom, had its initial run at the Times Community Theater from April 4th-6th, 2025 with over 400 ticketed attendees.[9]
