ANNABELLE BROOM, THE UNHAPPY WITCH
Witches are ugly, mean-hearted creatures-right? Not according to Annabelle Broom. More interested in being fashionable than frightening, Annabelle bemoans her outdated black witch's clothes and her failing grades in her witch classes. Can't she just wear pink and figure out how to keep her skin healthy instead of learning how to be cruel to people? The head of the witches' union thinks otherwise. She orders Annabelle to scare two lost children. But despite Annabelle's efforts to be mean, she agrees to help the children find their way home. When the witches' union hears of this, they rush to destroy Annabelle before her good deeds take away their powers. Antics ensue as Annabelle, the witches' union, and the lost children discover the truth about witches-and the consequences of good deeds.

What's Halloween without judicial corruption, revenge killings, and delicious baked goods? Celebrate this creepiest of seasons with composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim and bookwriter Hugh Wheeler (A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC) as they tell the tale of a barber unable to contain his rage in Victorian England. It's been more than a decade since Sweeney Todd had been unjustly sent to Botany Bay, and he can't wait to see the wife and baby girl he left behind. When he discovers the judge who imprisoned him had also driven his wife to commit suicide and took his daughter to raise as his own, Sweeney swears revenge. He sets up shop as a barber again, and with the help of the lovesick and derranged Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney begins to find vengence in the baking of piping hot meat pies...complete with a special ingredient. Wheeler's suspense-filled book and Sondheim's complex and epic score are gaurenteed to chill even the most jaded horror fans.

JEKYLL & HYDE
This timeless tale of duality is a perfect metaphor for Halloween-a night when the mischievous imp in all of us holds sway. Only, in Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse's Tony nominated Broadway musical, mild-mannered Dr. Henry Jekyll's alter ego, Edward Hyde, doesn't just emerge once a year. Wildhorn's rock-pop score is appropriately gritty and soaring, capturing Jekyll's desperation to rid himself of the monstrous Hyde and the life he hopes to regain. Ballads like "This Is The Moment" and "A New Life" cut through generations of legend surrounding the characters, lending them a compelling humanity that has gripped audiences for over a decade.

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN
Based on the Mel Brooks' classic comedy, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, with book by Tony Award-winners Thomas Meehan (ANNIE, THE PRODUCERS, HAIRSPRAY) and Mel Brooks (THE PRODUCERS), and music and lyrics by Mel Brooks, the show presents a humorous take on a Halloween favorite. Frederick, mad scientist Dr. Victor von Frankenstein's grandson, is the dean of anatomy at a prestigious New York medical school, and has successfully distanced himself from his infamous ancestor - until he discovers he has inherited his grandfather's Transylvanian castle. Frederick is determined to settle his grandfather's affairs and get out, but between a dream and encouragement from his grandfather's workers, Frederick decides to continue experiments in reanimation. But when the resulting monster escapes into the Transylvania countryside, Frederick and his team frantically hunt him down, with hilarious results. For both fans of the movie and those new to Mel Brooks' comedic brilliance, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN sheds the light of laughter on even the darkest of Halloween nights.
THE TOXIC AVENGER

The newest addition to the MTI show family, THE TOXIC AVENGER is a delightfully campy romp through a callously polluted New Jersey. Based on the cult film, this outrageous rock musical chronicles the fate of Melvin Ferd the Third. When his beloved Sarah, a blind librarian, tells him that their mayor is allowing The Good Earth Company to pollute their town, Melvin is determined to clean things up himself. Unfortunately, the mayor's henchmen throw Melvin into a vat of radioactive substance, transforming him into the superhuman Toxic Avenger--and enabling Melvin to clean New Jersey and its government in a whole new way. With book and lyrics by Joe DiPietro (I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE) and music and lyrics by Bon Jovi's David Bryan, THE TOXIC AVENGER is now available for Fast-Track notification.
Whether the Halloween spirit urges you to look for more heartwarming fare, reach for a sinister classic, or pay irreverent homage to a tradition of horror, MTI has a Halloweeen show for you.
