REEFER MADNESS: THE MUSICAL - Gallery Theater Non Equity Auditions

REEFER MADNESS: THE MUSICAL - Gallery Theater

Auditions for “Reefer Madness: The Musical”

Auditions will be held December 4th & 5th

Directed by Teresa Van De Veere

Inspired by the original 1936 film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy 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 spoofy fun of REEFER MADNESS. The addictive and clever musical numbers range from big Broadway-style showstoppers to swing tunes like 'Down at the Ol' Five and Dime' and the Vegas-style 'Listen to Jesus, Jimmy,' featuring J.C. Himself leading a chorus of showgirl angels. This dynamic show will go straight to your head! REEFER MADNESS is a highly stylized and satirical political commentary.
