ABOUT THE TOXIC AVENGER
Melvin wants to clean up the most polluted town in New Jersey. But when the mayor's bullies dump him into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, he reemerges as The Toxic Avenger. Now, with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark, he's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and find love.
The Toxic Avenger is a charming, irreverent, hilarious love story with an unlikely hero, an aspiring author, a corrupt New Jersey mayor, bullies, mobsters, professors, folk singers, and more. Featuring a wailin' rock score, this comical musical has something for everyone to enjoy.
THE TOXIC AVENGER
