10/27 Release of 'Reefer Madness' to Also Include Original LA Cast Recording

Ghostlight Records is proud to announce the October 27th release of a Collector's Edition double-CD of 'Reefer Madness', featuring both the Movie Soundtrack, and the original Los Angeles Cast Recording.  The double-CD contains new Author Notes, written by By Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney, and also features a 'flipover booklet', which contains artwork and lyrics for both CDs. Murphy & Studney commented: "This double CD of  'Reefer Madness' marks the culmination of a 10 year journey for us.  It began in 1997, during a road trip back from San Francisco, where we got the idea that it might be fun to write a musical about singing, dancing potheads.  Being in San Francisco can give you ideas like that."

The casts of the LA production and the screen adaptation are impressive, and include Kristen Bell, Christian Campbell, Neve Campbell, Alan Cumming, Ana Gasteyer, Steven Weber and many other fine performers. 
 
On October 27th, many of them will be on hand for a special late-night, 11:30pm, CD release concert at Joe's Pub in NYC, including:

Christian Campbell - JIMMY
Alan Cumming - LECTURER, GOATMAN, FDR
Ana Gasteyer - MAE
Steven Weber - JACK, GEORGE WASHINGTON
Amy Spanger - SALLY, STATUE OF LIBERTY
John Kassir - RALPH, Uncle Sam
Robert Torti – JESUS
