SOLD OUT

In this Pulitzer and Tony-nominated comedy by Craig Lucas, a whirlwind romance and marriage takes a startling turn when an mysterious old man congratulates the bride with a kiss. With this kiss, Rita (the bride) and the man have what could be described as a Twilight Zone moment that sends Rita and her would-be husband on a mysterious journey, as they test the true strength of their love, beyond the surface connections that first drew them to one another. Prelude to a Kiss was commissioned and originally staged by South Coast Repertory in January 1988. The play later went on to Broadway and was made into a feature film starring Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan. Staged Cinema Productions' performance of the play is directed by David Chorley. Learn More

Good and crazy musical parody of the film.
Probably should not attend if you are easily offended or do not like satire.
Otherwise the did a great job and the staff at the theater are great.

Another really fun production from the Maverick Theater. Tyler McGraw was hilarious as Jimmy Harper. Once he takes a hit of marijuana, his character really takes off and the shows gets crazy. The production was true to the musical film.... great sets, good songs and a top notch ensemble cast. Go see this play, you won't be disappointed.

It was fantastic - we wish it had a longer run so that we could see it again. Adding to the enjoyment was the fact that we know Tyler McGraw and he did a most outstanding job as he always has. We have been fans of the Maverick for many, many years dating back to the Elvis days. Keep up the good work.

We had a bit of a hard time finding the place since the sign for Walnut was a bit hidden. If you're driving north on Lemon St. and have gone under the overpass, then you've gone too far. I suggest looking at this map to give you an idea of where to turn:

Once we got there, parking was easy since there is a lot of free street parking.

The earlier you get there, the better seats you will have since it's general admission. First come, first serve. The theater is pretty intimate so there really is no bad seat.

There is a bar where you can order bottle water, soft drinks, and alcoholic drinks before the show and during intermission.

They ask that you not use the restroom during the show and hold it for intermission or after the show is done, since you can see people going into the bathroom from the theater seats and it would be distracting. The people in the audience for the show I was at respected that policy.

The show was great and the girl I took loved it. It exceeded her expectations and we couldn't stop laughing. The cast was great.

My favorite casts:

The Lecturer
Jesus
Sally

My favorite lines:
"You stir me up like beef chow mien"
"Body of me?" - Jesus

After seeing the show, it makes me want to see the movie which supposedly has reached a cult-status to see how it compares.

More Information About Reefer Madness: The Musical

Description

<p>Lock up the youngsters, cover grandma's eyes and batten down the hatches because Reefer Madness: The Musical is coming to the Maverick Theater. Based on the 1936 propaganda movie, this outrageously twisted musical of sex and drugs is the brain-child of Dan Studney (Desperate Housewives) and Kevin Murphy (The Simpsons), who felt the campy movie was just begging to be made into a musical.

Reefer Madness: The Musical
tells the tale of Jimmy Harper, an All-American youth whose life falls into a pit of debauchery and despair after one puff off the evil marijuana cigarette. But his love for the beautiful Mary Lane might be his only hope to save him from the wickedness of the Mary Jane! What can you expect from a show that has zombies, Jesus and FDR… almost anything. The production has big dance numbers backed up by an outstanding five piece band.</p>
