Based on the 1984 cult film, The Toxic Avenger is a hilarious rock musical comedy full of irreverent satire, wit, and catchy tunes. 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 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 and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town. It's a toxic love story with an environmental twist!
Out of an abundance of caution, we regret to inform you that the closing weekend of The Toxic Avenger is cancelled due to a breakthrough case of Covid-19 discovered in our team. The wellness of our cast, crew, and audiences is of utmost importance.
