Based on the classic 1985 cult film by Lloyd Kaufman, The Toxic Avenger is a
new musical by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change) & David Bryan (Bon Jovi), with direction by John Rando.

The Toxic Avenger is set in the mythical town of Tromaville, Exit 13B off the New Jersey Turnpike. An aspiring earth scientist, Melvin Ferd the Third, is determined to clean up the town’s burgeoning toxic waste, until he is tossed into a vat of radioactive goo and emerges as a seven-foot mutant freak and New Jersey’s first superhero. Armed with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark, he’s out to save New Jersey, end global warming and woo Sarah, the prettiest, blindest librarian in town.
