<p>NOTES</p>
<p>--A few weeks ago, we were invited to a special Blogger's Night showing of The Toxic Avenger musical, a raucous staging of Troma's cult movie featuring music by "one of the founding members of Bon Jovi." (Not Bon Jovi.)</p>
<p>--Upon entrance to the theater space, a lady stopped us and probed, "Are you a blogger?" She seemed genuinely interested in meeting such a creature. She was welcoming us to the "Tox-Box," which wasn't a toxic waste splash-zone like we imagined. Instead, on this night, it was a shadowy haven for leering tumblrs, twitterers, and live journalers. Some had notepads. Others smelled like mayonnaise. All looked very suspicious.</p>
<p>--The show was super fun. Aside from the great tunes about how New Jersey blows, they cleverly employed all these geeky theatre tricks THAT WOWED OUR SOCKS RIGHT OFF. One song had a character fighting and sing-battling on stage with her secondary role through the use of the theatre device known as "madcap costume changes." It was neat.</p>
<p>--The lead actress, Sarah Chase, played the role of "Jen" in last year's run of Jen and Angie at The UCBT.</p>
<p>--We were telling someone later that we had just gone to a Broadway show and they were all, "That's not Broadway, that's Off-Broadway." And we were like, "It sure looked like a Broadway musical to us." The schooling began: Apparently neither location, budget, nor the presence of a Playbill has anything to do with a show's Broadway status. If a theater has 500 seats or more, it's On-Broadway. End of discussion. More info here.</p>

<p>Now through July 31st, The Toxic Avenger is offering specially priced $45 tickets if you click here and use this offer code: TOBLOG409</p>
