Description Exploring the downfall of clean-cut, cocoa-sipping kids who fall prey to the evils of marijuana, the satirical musical contains a giggly moral message for all.
Reefer Madness! The Musical is inspired by the original 'educational' film of 1936 entitled Tell Your Children. The film, financed by a church group, was a morality tale warning parents against the evils of marijuana. Tell Your Children was re-cut by notorious filmmaker Dwain Esper, who transformed it into an exploitation piece and labelled it Reefer Madness. The film was forgotten until the 1970s.
