Reefer Madness

Book by Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney
Music by Dan Studney
Lyrics by Kevin Murphy

Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy
takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall
prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with
evil jazz music, sex and violence.

You wont be able to resist the spoofy fun of REEFER MADNESS. The addictive and
clever musical numbers range from big Broadway-style showstoppers to swing
tunes like "Down at the Ol' Five and Dime" and the Vegas-style "Listen to
Jesus, Jimmy," featuring J.C. Himself leading a chorus of showgirl angels. This
dynamic show will go straight to your head!

REEFER MADNESS is a highly stylized and satirical political commentary. It
contains adult humor, religious parody, drug use, as well as suggested violence
and sexual explicitness. It therefore may be inappropriate for younger
performers and audiences. -- R&H
