Reefer Madness, The Musical
Casting has been announced for Showtime's small-screen version of the Off-Broadway musical marijuana satire Reefer Madness.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Tony Award winner Alan Cumming will join former Producers star Steven Weber, Roulette's Ana Gasteyer and Neve Campbell for the movie musical. Cumming will star as the film's narrator, the Lecturer; Weber will play pot dealer Jack; Campbell will portray Miss Poppy; and Gasteyer will be the hostess of the Reefer Den, Mae.

We saw part of it in the auditorium when I was a freshman in high school and the other students began to stomp their feet and clap their hands and raise so much hell that they just stopped the movie. But this new version may be worth watching.
