Sunday November 26th will be the third time I see the musical The Toxic Avenger. The first time was in 200p at New World Stages off-Broadway, with Nick Cordero and Nancy Opel. The second time was 2016 at Southwark Playhouse, starring Mark Anderson, Hanna Gorver, Lizzi Hills, Marc Pickering and Ashley Samuels, and i thing whats playing at the Arts Theatre is a version of that, which a new cast: Ben Irish, Emma Solvo, Natalie Hope, Ché Francis, Oscar Conlon-Morrey, Peter Bindloss, Sophia Lewis.
From the Arts Theatres homepage:
Toxie, a mutant freak with superhuman strength and a supersized heart is out to save New Jersey, end global warming and win the heart of his beloved. Laugh, scream and sing as Toxie rocks the house and saves the day
“An intoxicating blast of fun”

“Hits don´t come more smash than this”

Following sold-out runs at Southwark Playhouse, where it received 6 Off West End Award nominations including Best New Musical, and Edinburgh Festival Fringe, cult rock musical The Toxic Avenger has transferred to the Arts Theatre for a strictly limited season.
From Joe DiPietro and David Bryan (original founding member and keyboardist/vocalist for Bon Jovi), the Tony Award-winning team behind the hit West End musical ‘Memphis’, this acclaimed rock musical dubbed “an intoxicating blast of fun” by The Daily Telegraph in their 5-star rave review and the Daily Express says ‘“To anyone that has seen the Book of Mormon, this is a must-see younger brother of a show!”
Based on the 1984 cult classic, The Toxic Avenger tells the story of the citizens of Tromaville who are crying out for a hero. Enter Melvin Ferd the Third, an aspiring earth scientist determined to clean up the toxic waste problem. When a corrupt Mayor and her government goons get wind of his plans, they vow to stop this heroic feat, Melvin is tossed into a vat of toxic waste, and transformed into The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey’s first superhero!
Prepare to laugh, scream and sing as ‘Toxie’ rocks the house and saves the day.
