The Toxic Avenger: The Musical


This is pretty wild! Following in the footsteps of Evil Dead, The Toxic Avenger has been transformed into a musical! Currently playing off-Broadway in New York, the musical has contains such catchy melodies as Kick Your Ass, Hot Toxic Love, Bitch/Slut/Liar/Whore, and You Tore My Heart Out. It is written by Joe DiPietro, its music by David Bryan, and both created the lyrics.

The nice thing about this is it has been receiving favourable reviews, and as result plans to tour across the continent, possibly hitting a town near you. No word yet on when the cast recording will be available, but you better believe that now it has become a surprise musical hit we'll be seeing a release soon! Follow this link to learn more about the show, including how to buy tickets.

Now that we've seen Evil Dead and Toxic Avenger turned into a broadway musical, what other b-movies would you like to see become a musical? Here are my picks:


  • Tammy and the T-Rex

  • Silent Night, Deadly Night (1 and 2)

  • Motel Hell

  • Troll 2

  • Ricki-Oh: Story of Ricky


Feel free to leave your thoughts on the next great b-musical in the comments below.
