 Reefer Madness: The Musical explicitly calls out William Randolph Hearst and the use of racism to make marijuana seem scary so it could be criminalized.

It ends on a message about how easy it was for the fearmonger to whip the white 50s Leave It To Beaver-esque town into a violent mob aimed at taking down reefer, Sigmund Freud, Communists, queers, etc.

In 50s well off boomer logic - he made people start thinking about their thoughts and invented talk therapy, thus causing all mental health problems by defining them, before then people were just "a bit off" and could be safely ignored

Was going to make a joke about penning "Spamilton," a musical that combines the cringe of Monty Python and Hamilton but like every other dumb idea I've ever had in my life it's been done and probably better than what I would have done but the problem is the real thing is a parody of all musicals and earnest

 The movie version of Little Shop of Horrors was great, and I think the happier ending works with Moranis's Seymour.

Repo: The Genetic Opera is dumb fun and it properly portrays the rich as idiot garbage people
