Foiled by the mayor’s bullies, Melvin is dumped into a vat of radioactive toxic waste, only to reemerge as THE TOXIC AVENGER, New Jersey’s first superhero. Affectionately known as Toxie, our new hero is 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!

Commonwealth Theatre Company
July 5-23
NKU Stauss Theatre [Highland Heights]

Book by Ken Jones
Music by Jamey Strawn
Lyrics by Christine Jones

Set in the Windy City, BURGERTOWN is another delicious musical comedy from the team that brought you CHURCH GIRLS. A timid fry cook (played by audience favorite Roderick Justice) accidentally invents the hottest new craze in the fast-food world — the Triangle Burger — and takes the humble BurgerTown restaurant from its lowly place beneath the tracks to soaring new heights. In this kooky musical adventure, our shy hero overcomes disgruntled customers, corporate greed, and organized crime as he chases success, romance, and a fast-food fortune. Dinner is served in the Corbett Theatre Lobby 90 minutes prior to performance.

Directed by Bob Brunner

Cast: Allison Hinkel as Edith, Grace Eichler as Ruth, Matt Krieg as Charles, David Roth as Dr. Bradman, Susan Jung as Mrs. Bradman, Traci Taylor as Madame Arcati & Kayla Burress as Elvira

The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages concerns the socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant, Madame Arcati, to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when she calls up the ghost of his annoying and temperamental first wife, Elvira! Elvira then hilariously haunts Charles’s marriage second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost! As things go wildly out of control, Charles will do anything to restore order in this world – and the next!
