Reefer Madness: Musical Comedy Based on Camp Classic Film
- Full Price:
- $25.00 - $50.00
- Our Price:
- $10.00 - $25.00
In 1936, an anti-drug propaganda film called Reefer Madness was released. The movie portrayed the disasters that ensue when some young teenagers decide to try "marihuana," aka the devil's drug. In the 1970s, the film was rediscovered and became a cult classic due to its melodramatic portrayal of the alleged dangers of marijuana, which include death, destruction, madness and ... jazz. This tongue-in-cheek musical comedy inspired by the original film continues the hijinks in ever wackier form, memorializing the melodrama in song. Learn More

Reviews & Ratings
Report as inappropriateBelow are a few notes I jotted down (the next day) on the survey & which was not turned in:
1) ..Change about play?
More about the Buffalo Soldiers - Less about Luisa & Captain
Make distinct or stronger switch from Escrima to Fil-dance (NOT to combine)
2) ..Characters most engaging?
CONNOR & NALDING
Gregory M. - Dancer
3) ..Confused by dialogue?
Too much info in beginning = DIDACTIC
Made too much distance between audience (not in the know) & historical facts
4) ..Dance element help?
Yes & No. Some dances too long especially:
white costumed dancer in-between Della & Linc= NOT NECESSARY- made disjointed.
5) ..Familiar with this piece of Fil-Am history?
Yes, but learned more -- Thank you!
Report as inappropriatePerformances, plot, choreography, very good. Needs better flow or binding together. Just a bit of work and it would be excellent.
Report as inappropriateFascinating tale that you do not find in your typical history books... Powerful story that leaves you emotionally and intellectually stimulated. You want to know more about this period of history after having your interest piqued. The choreography and escrima stick fighting scenes were lively and engaging. Dialogue was extremely powerful at times and laced with nuances and details that would benefit from multiple viewings.
Report as inappropriateThis was a piece of American military history NOT taught in schools. The play was well done and I gone to other plays written by Jeannie. Kudos.
