The Toxic Avenger is a 2008 rock musical based on Lloyd Kaufman's cult film of the same name, winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical and written by Tony Award winners Joe DiPietro and David Bryan (Bon Jovi). The Toxic Avenger is an intoxicating comedy, horror and action-packed love story that has it all: an unlikely hero, his beautiful girlfriend, a corrupt New Jersey mayor and two guys who play... well, everyone else. Set in the most traditional of all musical settings - a toxic waste dump off the New Jersey Turnpike - the citizens of Tromaville cry for help as Melvin Ferd the 3rd, an aspiring earth scientist, vows to clean up the state while fighting corruption, toxic waste dumps, and falling in love with Sarah, a beautiful blind librarian. With its wonderful hair-metal sound, score and superb cast,
The Toxic Avenger will kick a little ass with exuberant fun.


Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro
Music and Lyrics by David Bryan
Directed by Ellyn Essig

"Leonia art colony was fully integrated into the greater community. On weekends, artists would welcome their neighbors in for "studio tours," art lessons and occasional spot sales. On weekdays, the artists would frequent local businesses and involve themselves in community politics."
