“The Toxic Avenger: The Musical,” a rowdy comedic story about an unlikely group of folks in New Jersey, comes to Sea Glass Stage at Coligny for a three-week run July 9-26.
Melvin Ferd the Third is an earth scientist determined to clean up his hometown, Tromaville, New Jersey, and its toxic dump site. But the corrupt mayor sends her cronies to stop him. Her goons drop Melvin into a barrel of the green waste and leave him to die. However, he emerges from the glop transformed into a hideous mutant, The Toxic Avenger, and is more driven than ever to rid the town of the mess.
Somewhere along the way, the freakish monster falls in love, escapes repeated attempts on his life, goes a bit crazy, and finally regains his confidence to help make his world better.
The cast of five Sea Glass veterans brings to life 33 characters in a fun, music-filled show sure to delight patrons of all ages.
Performances are 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are available at sgstage.org.
Sea Glass Stage at Coligny Theatre is located at 1 N. Forest Beach Drive, Unit I-5, across the breezeway from Life Is Good.
