An unlikely musical comedy inspired by an earnest 1936 public service film of the same name, this raucous spoof 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 goofy charm of REEFER MADNESS, an addictive, hilarious, and highly stylized musical romp with a sly satirical political commentary that will leave you wanting more.
