THE TOXIC AVENGER returns with the composer in tow!

Hit Off-Broadway sci-fi musical THE TOXIC AVENGER returned to New York City in a special 54 Below concert tonight and a new video of composer and famed Bon Jovi member David Bryan crooning a standout tune for his score for the show is now available to view via social media.

Last week, star Tyce Green posted a pic of himself, Constantine Maroulis and company, writing, "In the room with these geniuses. #Toxie - with Nancy Opel, Mitch Jarvis, Mara Davi Gaines and Constantine Maroulis at Pearl Studios."

The official description of THE TOXIC AVENGER: IN CONCERT at 54 Below is as follows: "The Toxic Avenger, winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, comes to 54 Below for this special one-night-only concert reunion, featuring cast members from all of its incarnations (Off-Broadway, Alley Theatre, George Street Playhouse). Featuring a wailin' rock score by David Bryan, of Bon Jovi fame, this comical musical has something for everyone to enjoy! It's 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 guys who play... well... bullies, mobsters, old ladies, and stiletto-wearing back-up singers. In an attempt to clean up New Jersey's most polluted town, our hero Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as The Toxic Avenger. Our new hero is now a seven-foot mutant freak with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. He's out to save New Jersey, end global warming, and woo the blind librarian in town. It's a toxic love story with an environmental twist! The Toxic Avenger will leave audiences laughing in the aisles as it rocks the house. The concert will feature a very special appearance by writers Joe DiPietro and David Bryan, who will perform an acoustic Toxie song LIVE! Featuring: Constantine Maroulis, Nancy Opel, Antoine L. Smith, Mitch Jarvis, Mara Davi and more to be announced!"
