Reefer Madness, the Musical

Reefer Madness tells the story of Jimmy Harper, an upstanding youth who becomes a whacked-out pot fiend after just one ‘toke’ of the evil reefer. We first meet Jimmy and his plucky girlfriend Mary Lane (wink) at the local soda shop. Mary informs Jimmy that she’s entered them into a dance contest. Just one problem – Jimmy can’t dance. Enter Jack, the evil pot pusher, who trolls the soda shop for his teenage victims. Jack assures Jimmy he can teach him to dance, and brings Jimmy to his Reefer Den…of evil! Here he meets a group of tainted misfits and is immediately sucked into a world of weed freaks, orgies, hallucinations and brownies!

The story is propelled along by the over-the-top production numbers that include the swing tune “Down At The Old Five and Dime,” ballads like “The Stuff” and the Vegas-style “Listen To Jesus, Jimmy.” It’s an evening of singing, dancing and lung-filled pandemonium that will have you laughing so hard, your pupils will dilate. The New York Daily News say “Reefer Madness is deliberately outlandish and silly. And that’s what makes it so good.”
