weAREproductions Presents SMOKEY THE BANDIT THE MUSICAL

Who can haul 400 cases of illegal beer from Texarcana, Texas, back to Atlanta, Georgia, in 28 hours or less, for $80,000, while being chased by the cops, and harboring a hitchhiking bride? THE BANDIT! That's who!

Take a musical journey back to the '70's, when mustaches were big, high-speed chases were just around every corner, and Burt Reynolds was king. Smokey and the Bandit: The Musical brings the classic road comedy to the stage, featuring favorite toe-tappin', hand clappin' songs from the film's soundtrack, as well as some other country classics. The Bandit (Timmy Hart Barron) is on a mission: haul 400 cases of illegal beer from Texarkana, Texas, to Atlanta, Georgia, in under 28 hours. But his job gets a whole lot tougher when a hitchhiking bride (Ali Delianides) enters the picture and Sheriff Bufford T. Justice (Mark Hespen) puts the Bandit in his sights.
