SYNOPSIS:
It's a toxic love story with an environmental twist by the Tony Award-winning creators of Memphis! Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, THE TOXIC AVENGER is a charming love story and laugh-out-loud musical that has it all -- an unlikely hero, his beautiful girlfriend, a corrupt New Jersey mayor, bullies, mobsters, old ladies, a nun, and stiletto-wearing back-up singers. The show also features the most memorable and unbelievable duet you'll ever see on any stage.

Melvin Ferd the Third wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey. Foiled by the mayor's bullies, Melvin is dumped in a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to re-emerge 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 and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town. So in these difficult times, sit back and let Toxie and his world shake yours with a wailin' rock score and laughter in hopes of a "brand new day."
