The Troma Team is proud to announce that The Toxic Avenger. The Musical,  winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, comes to 54 Below for a special one-night-only concert reunion, Monday, June 8th. Cast members from all of its incarnations (Off-Broadway, Alley Theatre, George Street Playhouse) will be part of this tromusical extravaganza.

See American’s Idol Constantine Maroulis as everybody’s favorite hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength, the Toxic Avenger.

Based on Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman‘s 1984 homonymous film, The Toxic Avenger features book, music and lyrics by Joe DiPietro and David Bryan. After the New York premiere,  April 2009, The New York Times called the production “exuberantly silly”, while New York Post called it “hilariously funny”. Six years after, The Toxic Avenger comes back to New York.

Secret Video Leaked

Lloyd Kaufman apologizes for the leaking of the secret video announcing a performance-rally this Thursday, May 21st, 3 pm, at Union Square, New York, NY.  Mr. Kaufman stated “We don’t want to even mention that  this  Union Square event is to raise awareness of the  Return to Nuke’Em High: Volume 2 Kickstarter campaign. That would be crass, bourgeois and capitalistic.” However the Toxic Avenger  and the World famous Tromettes in small clothing have been  confirmed.

The Troma Team is proud to announce that the 16th ALL FREE Tromadance Film Festival will take place on July 23 and 24, 2015, at The Paper Box in Brooklyn, NY. As they have for 16 years, true cinephiles can shed their stressful workaday troubles and celebrate, en masse, the wonder that is genuine independent cinema!

The Toxic Avenger polishes his garments for Tromadance’s night premiere.

According to Wikipedia “The idea for TromaDance was developed by Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, who got the idea from South Park co-creator Trey Parker (whose debut film, Cannibal! The Musical, was distributed by Troma). Feeling that Sundance had become too “Hollywood” by charging film-makers high fees to entry his movies, showing multi-million-dollar “independent” movies and practicing an elitist structure and film selection process, Parker urged Kaufman to create his own film festival that was the direct independent opposite of Sundance, one that was completely FREE! and focused on independently produced film that was made without the Hollywood system in order to give first-time filmmakers a chance at getting their work seen.
