Celebrate 25 years of one of the best “marijuana-paranoia” parodies to ever be made when Reefer Madness: The Musicalhas returned to Los Angeles! With the support of the original cast and an exciting new concept called the Reefer Den, this production is sure to reach an all time high!
“Marihuana—the burning weed with its roots in HELL!” This and other similar messages are plastered all over the poster of the original 1936 propaganda film Reefer Madness. It was so dramatic that it was just begging to be satirized. And sure enough, Reefer Madness: The Musical did exactly that in 1998.
First opening here in Los Angeles, Reefer Madness: The Musical shattered records in its original run and has gone on to become a cult classic. In 2005, the musical was turned into an Emmy-winning made-for-TV movie starring some of the theatrical productions’ actors such as Alan Cumming, as well as newcomers like Kristen Bell.
25 years later, Reefer Madness: The Musical is still one of the funniest and most beloved celebrations of counterculture. It’s returning to Los Angeles at last, and it’s even got a special new addition: the Reefer Den.
The Reefer Den is described by Christian Campbell (star of the original musical and a producer of this revival) as a “Postmodern Jukebox,” with rotating artists, a house band, and an outdoor space called the Victory Garden.
Your Reefer Madness: The Musical tickets will automatically include access to the Reefer Den, though there is a Standard Admission option without access to the Reefer Den if you would prefer to only catch the musical.
Reefer Madness: The Musical and the Reefer Den will be located at The Whitley (6555 Hollywood Blvd), and tickets are on sale now!
So get your tickets, grab some munchies, and prepare for the return of Reefer Madness!
