Description

The full script and lyrics to JOHNNY APPLEWEED, the 2006 stoner political satire, the first musical ever to make a serious case for the spiritual, existential, and psychological properties of marijuana. Through the lens of this pot-friendly worldview, the show takes aim at issues like American party politics, the War on Terror, the (undeclared) war on America's poor, the American culture of violence, gay marriage, the legalization of marijuana, sexual oppression, and increasingly rabid American religious fanaticism, all through the eyes of the laidback, neo-mythic purveyor of pot, Johnny Appleweed, an itinerant philosopher-stoner, who argues that only through the mind-expanding properties of marijuana can we truly see the Larger Truths, so that we can finally solve our problems and move our civilization forward. A heady mix of Hair, The Daily Show, the films of Kevin Smith, Waiting for Godot, and The Wizard of Oz.Songs include "The Ballad of Johnny Appleweed," "The Scheme of Things," "Fucking Up America," "Cannabis Dei," "Weird Isn't Weird," "Jesus On the Tube," "I Tapped That Ass," "What Would Jesus Do?," "A Great Big Cloud of Smoke," and more...
