LOS ANGELES, May 3, 2016 — Good People Theater Company and Producer Alejandro Patiño announced the first Hollywood Fringe Festival production of THE TOXIC AVENGER MUSICAL, 2009’s winner of the Outer Critics Circles’ award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Musical.

Based on Lloyd Kaufman’s cult film, this rock-n-roll adaptation (books and lyrics by Joe DiPietro, music and lyrics by David Bryan) shamelessly amps up the camp with power ballads, dirty politics, love-is-blind romance, yards of sequins, scattered body parts and mysterious green goo. Good People’s production features a cast and crew with Broadway and Off-Broadway credits, direction and choreography by LADCC’s 2016 lifetime musicals achievement winner Janet Miller, and musical direction by award-winning collaborator Corey Hirsch.

“Who could turn down a feel-good musical about nuclear waste?” According to Janet Miller, artistic producing director of Good People Theater Company, the team felt TOXIC was a dream project. “No one has done it yet. It’s rock-n-roll. It’s mutant. It’s generally just pretty ridiculous. Perfect for us—and for Fringe!”

Good People’s Fringe Festival production of THE TOXIC AVENGER MUSICAL runs for 12 performances at the Sacred Fools Theater Main Stage in Hollywood (1076 Lillian Way at Santa Monica Boulevard).

The show opens on Saturday, June 4 at 6pm and closes on Sunday, June 26 with a 1pm matinee. Tickets are $20 general admission and $15 for students and seniors, with additional discounts available for Fringe insiders (Citizens and Participants).
