Toxic Avenger... In the Studio!!

The Toxic Avenger, based on the cult-film favorite by Lloyd Kaufman and Troma Studios, is fast-tracking the production of its highly anticipated cast recording to be available in time for the show's opening night in New York City (Monday, April 6th). Therefore, the cast took a break from rehearsal and hit the Avatar recording studios on Monday March 9th and laid down final tracks of the David Bryan/Joe DiPietro score. BroadwayWorld.com sent in our cameras to grab all the "Toxie" fun!

Featuring book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change) and music by David Bryan (Bon Jovi), The Toxic Avenger will begin performances on Wednesday, March 18, 2009, at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street). Opening Night is set for Monday, April 6th.

Jean Cheever and Tom Polum, will produce The Toxic Avenger, the upcoming new musical about New Jersey's first superhero. Joining the previously announced Nancy Opel in the cast are Sara Chase, Nick Cordero, Demond Green and Matt Saldivar. Ms. Opel, Mr. Cordero and Mr. Green all starred in the George Street Playhouse production of the show, while Ms. Chase appeared in the initial workshop production. Tony Award-winner John Rando directs.

Dancing with the Stars...

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with Bon Jovi, but I wanted to post this anyway. I am a fan of the show Dancing with the Stars and last night I got to watch the woman we all love to hate, Denise Richards, strut her stuff.

I wish I could tell you she was just awful, I wanted to be able to tell you that she would be gone in the first round, but I just don't think that's going to be the case. She was a little stiff and I would guess nervous as hell, but she wasn't awful.

Here's what MSN had to say about her performance:

Denise Richards

It seems that dancing is not quite as complicated as reality for Denise Richards: even though we saw a rehearsal spat that ended in tears, she and Maksim did a more than passable cha-cha. (And she's getting away with calling him "Maxiepoo!") I think the judges were a little hard on Denise during the critique though her and Maksim's score certainly puts them well in the middle of the pack.

Score: 18/30

I guess I'll have to tune in next week for the results and see if I'm right and she comes back another week, but I have a feeling she'll be around for a while.
