Based on the cult film, The Toxic Avenger is a charming love story with an unlikely hero, Melvin Ferd the Third, his beautiful girlfriend, a corrupt mayor, bullies, mobsters, old ladies, and stiletto-wearing back-up singers. Melvin wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey (just off Exit 13B on the Turnpike). Thwarted by the mayor’s bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey’s first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength but with a heart as big as Newark. With its wailing rock-n-roll score, The Toxic Avenger will leave audiences laughing in the aisles as it rocks the house.THE TOXIC AVENGER is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
