Bug Blowmonkey loves music. Bug Blowmonkey loves a woman. Bug Blowmonkey loves cocaine. Two of these things are good for him, but the other one is messing him up. Bad. Wanna take a guess which one? Bug knows the blow is taking him down a dark path, but can’t quit it on his own. Luckily, he has a spirit guide to help him out of his hole, and towards the “light” he seeks: Marvin Gaye.

Marc Spitz’s play, The Hobo Got Too High reappears in Ian W. Hill’s restaging of pretty much his original production from 2000 with pretty much the original cast. Put this team in the same play, and you get a production that feels like a great eclectic mix tape, moving from the lugubrious sadness of Leonard Cohen to the jumpiness of The Velvet Underground to the wistfulness of Michael Nesmith to the pure pop of The Lightning Seeds to the deep soul of Marvin Gaye.

The Hobo Got Too High is an hour of sex, drugs, rock and roll, romance, nonsequiturs, vast numbers of curse words, retractable penises, and an appraisal of Diane Lane’s breasts. All for a sawbuck. You may not see better value for your theatrical dollar anytime soon. The Hobo Got Too High is performed by Rasheed Hinds, Ian W. Hill, Roger Nasser, and Jessica Savage.
