Toxic in New Brunswick

We just saw "The Toxic Avenger" - The Musical- at the George Street Theater in New Brunswick today. It was very good and side-splittingly funny. It's based on the movie of the same name from the Eighties although with original music and a lot more New Jersey jokes.

The show's songs were written by a member of Bon Jovi's band and they were very good and very funny.

The plot - for those who haven't seen the movie - concerns a nebbishy nerd who is pitched into a vat of toxic waste and is turned into a superhero.

The show is well worth seeing. It's finishing its run in New Brunswick in a week or so, but word is that it will be opening in New York City sometime in December. I'd recommend seeing it while it's still in previews in the city so as to save some bucks.

Fun stuff.
