“The Toxic Avenger”

June 24, 2017 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

The Toxic Avenger
Joe DiPietro (Book & Lyrics); David Bryan (Music & Lyrics)
The Stage
Courtney Hatcher, Brandon Noel Thomas, Joshua Marx, Allison F. Rich & Will Springhorn Jr.
The Toxic Avengeris a solid choice by The Stage for summertime fun in much the same way local movie houses decide to give us silly comedies and super-hero flicks June through August each year.  But this particular summer, the high-jinx antics and ridiculously silly situations of the DiPeitro/Bryan satire take on a darker side when we quickly realize that there is a blonde, male version of Mayor Babs living in a certain house of white in D.C.
