WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Winner of the 2004 Drama Desk Award for Most Unique Theatrical Production.

Featuring five talented vocalists who also utilize their comedic and improvisational skills, Toxic Audio tests the limits of all that you thought was possible from the human voice. This show is a unique blend of contemporary pop, timeless classics, jazz, and their own original song stylings. Every sound emanating from the stage, including percussion, funky bass grooves, brassy horn lines and more is performed exclusively by the voices of these vocal virtuosos!

John Houseman Theater
450 W 42nd St
New York, NY 10036
