The Toxic Avenger


This event is in the past. This is an archive page for reference.

The Toxic Avenger has a book by Joe DiPietro and music by David Bryan, the same creative team behind the quadruple Tony Award winning musical, Memphis.

It is based on the 1984 classic cult film of the same name and debuted off-Broadway in 2009.

The citizens of Tromaville are crying out for a hero - enter Melvin Ferd the Third, an aspiring earth scientist determined to clean up the toxic waste problem. But when a corrupt Mayor and her government goons try to stop this heroic feat, Melvin is tossed into a vat of toxic waste and transformed into The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey's first superhero!

'Toxie' is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a supersized heart to match. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, woo the prettiest (blindest) librarian in town and get home in time for dinner, in this toxic love story with an environmental twist. Prepare to laugh, scream and sing as 'Toxie' rocks the house and saves the day.
