Great video -- Thanks for mentioning The Toxic Avenger! There are a few songs from the show posted at http://site.thetoxicavengermusical.com/flashmo.html
Joey Lawrence...yeurgh.
I'd still rather have Noel Fielding as Glam Phantom...although I'd mainly want to see it in the film remake. :D
Here he is singing the very New Wave "Electro Boy"-

What, no love for Evil Dead? www.evildeadthemusical.com
Sorry Evil Dead Musical -- we can only include so many in 2 and a half minutes.
I also learned that Stuart Gordon's brother had wanted to do a stage Musical of 1972's "The Thing with Two Heads"
Oh wait, forgot to mention "Dance of the Vampires"...although the original version (Which will play in Oberhausen, Germany this fall) is really the one worth mentioning.
As an addition Evil Dead the Musical is by far one of the greatest movie musicals to be seen on stage. Singing and Dancing Deadites, you can't go wrong!
I just recently learned there was a musical version of THE BLOB that played in Chicago. (You learn a lot at BLOBFEST)
