Murphy (Reefer Madness), Allison Scagliotti ("Warehouse 13," Jasper in Deadland), Kevin Carolan (Newsies, The Jungle Book), America Olivo ("Chicago, P.D."), Alan Cumming (Cabaret, "The Good Wife"), Lea Delaria ("Orange is the New Black"), Amy Spanger (Elf, "Reefer Madness" film), James Snyder (If/Then), Lesli Margherita (Matilda), Christian Campbell (Reefer Madness), Thomas Dekker ("The Secret Circle," "A Nightmare on Elm Street") John Kassir (Reefer Madness), and Jenna Leigh Green (Wicked).

Rounding out the ensemble were Callan Bergmann (Cinderella),Alexandra Frohlinger (Soul Doctor), Bre Jackson (Priscilla...), Collin Kelly-Sordelet (The Last Ship), Kristen Martin (Spiderman: Turn off the Dark), Paul HeeSang Miller (Mamma Mia), Heather Parcells (A Chorus Line), and Jason Michael Snow (The Book of Mormon).
Since its original Off-Broadway production in 2001, this award-winning musical has taken the world by storm and achieved a cult status in the vein of Rocky Horror and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, due in large to the successful award-winning Sundance film (also starring Cumming & Campbell). Inspired by the 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.
