(NEWARK, NJ) -- Rutgers-NJIT Theatre Program presents The Toxic Avenger from March 6-10 in the Jim Wise Theatre. Featuring Book and Lyrics by Joe DiPietro and music and lyrics by David Bryan, the musical brings New Jersey's first Superhero to the stage in a comedy based on the classic cult film. The production is directed by Dr. Michael Kerley.
Based on Lloyd Kaufman's cult film and 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. The show also features the most memorable and unbelievable duet you'll ever see on any stage.
Performances will take place March 6th-9th at 7:00pm and March 10th at 2:30pm. Tickets are $15 and available for purchase online.
The Jim Wise Theatre is located at Kupfrian Hall, NJIT Campus, 99 Summit Street in Newark, New Jersey.
