After a successful nine and a half month run, The Toxic Avenger, the critically-acclaimed Off-Broadway musical, will end its New York run, having played over 300 performances at New World Stages on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010, to prepare for its national tour. The Toxic Avenger had its world premiere at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey where it broke box office records before transferring Off-Broadway, beginning previews on March 18, 2009 and officially opening on April 6, 2009.

The Toxic Avenger made a special appearance at The Pond at Bryant Park yesterday, December 22, to greet fans and serenade the chilly holiday skaters. BroadwayWorld was on hand to cover the performance by The Toxic Avenger crew, which earned an Outer Critics Circle 2009 pick for Best New Off-Broadway Musical.

The Toxic Avenger had its official opening Hallowen night at The Music Hall on the Danforth. Since then it has been delighting audience with its unique blend on music, humour and campy fun. BWW got the chance to sit down and talk with Brittany Gray about her role as Sarah, the blind librarian and object of 'Toxie's' love.

The Toxic Avenger* star and American Idol finalist Diana DeGarmo will sing the National Anthem at the New Jersey Nets game tomorrow night, November 17th at 7:30PM.

Dancap's Production of The Toxic Avenger officially opened on October 31st, and it was quite a crowd to usher the show into it's new home at the Music Hall on Danforth Ave.

Dancap Productions Inc. presents the Canadian Premiere of THE TOXIC AVENGER, an eco-monster musical comedy based on the 1984 Lloyd Kaufman classic cult film.

Dancap scores another Toronto victory with the hilariously over-the-top camp musical 'The Toxic Avenger.' Production values are Broadway caliber for this off-Broadway show, and with a top-notch cast headed by Louise Pitre, Evan Alexander Smith and Brittany Gray, the show should continue ricking The Music Hall for many months to come. * * * * (OUT OF 5)

Last Wednesday night, some of the cast members from 'ROCK OF AGES' came uptown - 2 blocks! - to New World Stages for some HOT TOXIC LOVE - and got it when they visited THE TOXIC AVENGER, the award-winning musical starring another 'American Idol' finalist. After the show, both casts met onstage for the obligatory photo - or three.
