Toxic Audio

Local producer David Saxe brought Toxic Audio to the V Theater in Las Vegas after a successful run Off Broadway in New York City. This amazing group has appeared on television and in arenas across the country as the opening act for Tony Bennett, Kenny G., and Wayne Brady, just to name a few. Five electrifying entertainers perform an eclectic mix of almost every musical genre ranging from pop to jazz, hip-hop to country to comedic parodies. Their audience appeal is universal with a fan base and audience members ranging in ages from 7 to 77. You'll think Toxic Audio is backed by a full band, but it's really only five human voices.
