The most polluted town in New Jersey is coming to the Annex in New Castle.

Based on Lloyd Kaufman’s cult classic film, “The Toxic Avenger” is an award-winning rock musical. The New Castle Playhouse will stage the musical with shows from Friday, Oct. 24 to Nov. 2.

When Melvin Ferd III is tossed into a vat of toxic waste, he reemerges as “Toxie” — a mutant superhero with superhuman strength and a heart as big as Newark. It’s a toxic love story with an environmental twist, packed with comedy and a rock score, according to a news release from New Castle Playhouse.

“The Toxic Avenger” shows at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, as well as Oct. 30, 31 and Nov. 1; and at 2 p.m. Sunday and Nov. 2 at the Annex Theatre, 212 E. Long Ave., New Castle. For tickets or more information, visit newcastleplayhouse.org.
