"...Nowhere else can you find a side-splittingly funny cult classic musical in environs that have an insanely cool vibe, all while celebrating in a cannabis-friendly club and garden. It's madness, I tell you, MADNESS!"

TheatreMania - Highly Recommended

"...Reefer Madness, The Musical has risen from the grave in the city where it first slayed for over 18 record-breaking months. Director and choreographer Spencer Liff and a stellar cast make this revival at the Reefer Den in Hollywood a winner, delivering an intoxicating high as potent as the original."

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...Thanks to a few catchy and oft-repeated hooks, Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney's score is hummable, but their book isn't as strong. Perhaps it plays better when the camp shines, or to a stoned audience, but to me it felt tiresome Liff's choreography is stronger than his staging, which, combined with Mark A. Dahl's set design, feels very reminiscent of the 2005 movie version of the musical that aired on Showtime."

LA Theatre Bites - Highly Recommended

"...The popular multiple award-winning musical comedy Reefer Madness returns for the first time in 25 years to where it all began, filling the Walk of Fame with laughter and great music. Experience the side-splittingly funny cult-classic musical like never before in a uniquely immersive production, featuring additional songs and material by the original creative team, directed and choreographed for a new generation by Spencer Liff (Hedwig, Spring Awakening, So You Think You Can Dance?)."

Broadway World - Highly Recommended

"...Director and choreographer Spencer Liff has a light hand, placing his performers throughout the venue, twirling and kicking and pratfalling. The score and book by Kevin Murphy and Dan Studney are vibrant as ever, cheeky and clever, now including new songs and material. The costume design by Pinwheel Pinwheel is quality, colorful and sexy. The set direction by Mark A. Dahl and the Reefer Den interior design by Peter Wafer transport audience members back to the 1930s with period-specific details and antiques like bird cages, bells, and pianos in the space of a speakeasy. Music direction by David Lamoureux is spirited, the band playing from a loft just above the stage."
