THE TOXIC AVENGER Premieres in Colorado Next Week

Equinox Theatre Company is thrilled to present the regional premiere of "The Toxic Avenger Musical."

Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, "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, plus the show also features the most memorable and unbelievable duet you'll ever see on any stage.

Melvin Ferd the Third wants to clean up Tromaville, the most polluted town in New Jersey. Foiled by the mayor's bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger, New Jersey's first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength who is out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town.

Performances August 12 through September 3, 2016 with shows Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 PM. There will also be a pay-what-you-can industry night on Thursday, September 1, 2016. Tickets are $20 in advance/$25 at the door/$17 for groups of 6 or more in advance only. All performances will be at The Bug Theatre at 3654 Navajo Street in Denver.
