About the show

A smart and stylish film noir musical, Tony Award winner City of Angels captures the gritty sights and sounds of Hollywood’s classic detective movies, all set to a brilliant, bluesy jazz score. In the late 1940s, Stine, a bookish writer of detective stories, struggles to adapt his crime novel into a workable screenplay. As Stine tries to maintain some integrity in the backstabbing world of Hollywood, his protagonist, a hardboiled private eye named Stone, fights for survival in a city full of criminals and opportunists.

Reefer Madness

13 – 22 November 2026 at the Pioneer Theatre.

Inspired by the original 1936 propaganda film of the same name, this raucous musical comedy takes a tongue-in-cheek look at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral. With a book by Kevin Murphy (Heathers the Musical), Reefer Madness is a highly stylised and satirical political commentary that will leave you wanting more.

*Content Warning: Reefer Madness contains depictions of drug use, sex, exaggerated violence and implied nudity. Viewer discretion is advised for patrons under 15 years.

Production Team:

Co-Directors – Max Waterson & Kevin Rodrigueza
