The costumes were beautiful and perfect. Even the white guy and black guy who wore a dozen different costumes all had full images.
The minimal set pieces fit in just fine. The performances were captivating enough that I didn’t need big set pieces.
Toxie - Jared Reed - I was blown away with the polarization of character between “Melvin” and “Toxie”. I don’t know “Toxic Avenger” well. But I can only guess that in most productions these parts are played by different actors. If you’re lucky enough to have Jared Reed, thats all you need. His singing voice was spectacular. His acting on point. He somehow makes you fall in love with the toxic slime mutant he becomes. Wonderful!
Mayor / Ma - Shirley Hatton - She may have been older than her...

Toxie lives! Toxic Avenger is a laugh out loud funny adaptation of the camp classic Toxic Avenger movie. Great cast, great songs, great acting -- go see this one!...

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Genius direction to get it all working. Hate to see any diminishment of what is such a good time, and take issue with critical comparisons as if this show doesn't measure up. Just getting everyone in and out of costumes and on and off the stage was some kind of mastery. Am overcome by wanting to help them continue it....
