THEATRE: What would a Halloween weekend be without the Canadian premiere of The Toxic Avenger Musical? New Jersey vat-of-radioactive-waste survivor the Toxic Avenger battles for both the heart of his blind librarian love-interest and the environment while expressing himself through the magic of live rock ballads. The only thing missing might be a GTA context—the debate's open as to Toronto's New Jersey equivalent. The Music Hall (147 Danforth Avenue), Saturday 9 p.m., Sunday 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., $15–$69.

So, remember that strange-looking billboard at Dundas Square? You know, the one that commanded you to relieve a glutinous discharge? Well, it just got stranger. On Tuesday, Cadbury attached a teeter-totter-like lever to the billboard, with a large box on one end and a hulking one-and-a-half-metre Creme Egg on the other. According to the company, as snow, rain, and other precipitation accumulates inside the box, the Creme Egg will slowly rise towards an oversized fan that will eventually crack it open, unleashing its mucilaginous filling everywhere!

If you’re passing by Yonge & Dundas Square anytime soon, you may need to do a double take. A curious billboard erected above the Hard Rock Café building reads: “Release the Goo.” No, it’s not a call to arms from Dimitri the Lover to his pervy protégés. It's actually a bizarre new ad campaign for Cadbury Creme Eggs. If you think the billboard’s scandalous, check out the website’s tag line: “Cadbury Creme Eggs really want to get their goo out. And if you don’t do it for them, they will.” Yeesh.
