People don't believe me when I tell them what a great show THE TOXIC AVENGER is (possibly because they have seen the movie). Thanks for posting this - I had no idea that I was now on youtube. Today, I am reinforcing a ribcage and putting a 10' steel cable into an intestine, so that it won't break again. It's very low budget. I asked for $150.00 to buy a prop hand and they had to have a meeting about it. I still don't know the answer.

The Toxic Avenger - Musical, Comedy
He's New Jersey's first Superhero and he takes to the stage in this rock 'n roll monster of a comedy. Thrown into a vat of toxic goo by two bullies, a mild-mannered science student named Melvin Ferd the Third is reborn as a one-of-a-kind environmental crusader, The Toxic Avenger! 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. He'll leave you laughing in the aisles as he rocks the house and saves the earth for all of mankind. The Toxic Avenger, based on the 1985 classic cult film by Troma Studios, features music and lyrics by David Bryan (keyboardist and founding member of Bon Jovi), book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and is directed by John Rando (Urinetown).

Venue:
New World Stages / Stage 1
340 West 50th Street Between 8th and 9th Avenues
New York NY 10019

Running Time:
90 minutes, with no intermission

Audience:
The Toxic Avenger is appropriate for teenagers to centenagers (13 to 100+), although over 100, we're not responsible for death due to laughter. The show contains a monster that might frighten young children, and it also contains some words our mothers said we shouldn't use. If it was a movie, it'd be rated PG-13… but it's not a movie.
Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.

Cast Members:
Sara Chase, Nick Cordero, Demond Green, Nancy Opel, Matt Saldivar

I guess it's a hit. "Best New Musical" off- Broadway: "The Toxic Avenger" Outer Critics Circle Award. TA will open in Toronto this Halloween - and continue to play in New York at the New World Stages. If you have seen the TA movie, you may not believe this, but the musical version it is hilarious and wonderful.
