Red Star Studio Productions Proudly presents Yo Joe! - A Real American Hip-Hop Musical, a parody of the beloved, patriotic cartoon/toy franchise. It's comedy, combat and 80's nostalgia set to a catchy, original hip-hop score. Heroic good faces off with shadowy evil, when it's discovered the action figures kids buy in stores could be the final key to world domination. With ninjas, psychically-connected twins, sexy spies and masked supervillains -- it's a wildly colorful blast of musical comedy. Fans have long wished the original cartoons were this much fun.

This is a completely new hip-hop musical in two acts. The book, music and lyrics were written by Jay Gish, whose musical score for the midwest debut of Cartoon was deemed "lovely" by The Chicago Reader and "catchy" by Gapersblock.com. The show is directed by David Flora.
