Reefer Madness

Book by Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney
Music by Dan Studney; Lyrics by Kevin Murphy
Orchestrations by David Manning & Nathan Wang
Performed April 3-5, 2009 | The Barn Theatre @ Winthrop

Inspired by the 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 won’t 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 angels. This dynamic show will go straight to your head!
