Marcus Crowder Reviews "Reefer Madness"

Artistic Differences and their new offering:

So yes, Brad Bong, star of the Artistic Differences production, is really smoking. The pun's intended; groans are optional.

Happily, young Mr. Bong has just the right fresh-faced, rosy-cheeked look, along with solid singing and dancing chops to be more than a casting gimmick.

Bong plays Jimmy Harper, a classic naive all-American boy who gets led astray by the devil weed marijuana. The 1998 musical spoof by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney sends up the 1936 public service cautionary-tale film detailing the evils of smoking marijuana.
