Get ready, the most polluted town in New Jersey is coming to the Annex!
Based on Lloyd Kaufman’s cult classic film, “The Toxic Avenger” is an award-winning rock musical that has it all. When Melvin Ferd III is tossed into a vat of toxic waste, he reemerges as Toxie – a mutant superhero with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. The Toxic Avenger is a hilarious new monster of a comedy. Armed with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark, he’s out to save New Jersey, end global warming and woo the prettiest, blindest librarian in town. Don’t miss The Toxic Avenger live on stage! It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The Toxic Avenger is based on the 1985 classic cult film from Troma Studios and features music and lyrics by David Bryan (keyboardist and founding member of Bon Jovi) with book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change).It’s a toxic love story with an environmental twist, packed with comedy and a rock score.
Content Warning: The Toxic Avenger is recommended for audiences PG-13 and up due to adult language and mature themes.
