Toxic Avenger the Musical <3's New Jersey
If you would have walked up to me on the street and said the words 'Toxic' 'Avenger' 'the' and 'Musical' in that order, I would have first laughed, and then felt very sad when I realized you were serious. But that's just the kind of cynical fuck I am. It's a little disease I affectionately call 'Brooklyn Optimism' passed down through the generations in New York. It's where everything, no matter what, is bad. My dad has it, I have it. Come to think of it, everyone at Pete's Basement has it. Luckily for my Wednesday night, I was wrong.
Being a typical New Yorker, I never, ever, go to musicals. Those are for thin snooty old white women with trust funds and door men who live in a sheltered walled-off bubble, who can afford to explore the musical side of cats and HIV. Plus, there's nothing I know of that has been made better in musical form. I'm mainly basing this assumption off of my experience with the Simpsons, and how bad I assume Shrek the Musical is and Spider-Man the Musical will be. Toxic Avenger the Musical has proved me wrong. It was good.
