Oh say, can she sing! Less than a month after singing the National Anthem at a New Jersey Nets game, The Toxic Avenger* star and American Idol finalist Diana DeGarmo will once again be center court-this time at the legendary Madison Square Garden. Ms. DeGarmo will kick-off tomorrow's game (December 1st at 7:30PM) as The New York Knicks take on the Phoenix Suns. For more information, please visit www.nyknicks.com.

The Toxic Avenger is a charming love story and laugh-out-loud musical that has it all -- an unlikely hero, his beautiful girlfriend, a corrupt New Jersey mayor and two guys who play...well, everyone else...bullies, mobsters, old ladies, and stiletto-wearing back-up singers. The show also features the most memorable and unbelievable duet you'll ever see on any New York stage. Audiences from teenagers to senior citizens love this hilarious new hit musical! Easily 1,000 laughs.

Based on the 1985 classic cult film from Lloyd Kaufman, The Toxic Avenger features music and lyrics by David Bryan (keyboardist and founding member of Bon Jovi), book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and is directed by Tony Award® winner John Rando. Bryan and DiPietro also collaborated on Memphis now playing at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway.

It was recently announced that The Toxic Avenger will play its last New York performance at New World Stages on January 3rd, 2010. The show is also playing Toronto's Danforth Music Hall, and a national tour is in the works for the fall of 2010.

The performance schedule for The Toxic Avenger is: Monday, Wednesday - Friday at 8PM, Saturday at 4 & 8PM and Sunday at 3 & 7:30PM. Tickets are $51.50 & $71.50 and may be purchased through TeleCharge at (212) 239-6200/www.telecharge.com. The original cast recording (Time Life) is in stores and available on iTunes. For further information and fun online content, and new TOX-A-RI-FIC merchandise, please visit the show's official web site (TheToxicAvengerMusical.com).
