Cheech and Chong Broadway has been something long time fans of Richard Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong have been waiting for. The first hints of tickets being available for such a musical came back in early March 2009 after the two had an interview with Maxim magazine. The two comedians had repaired their working relationship, which had become increasingly fractured since the late 1980s after a run of cult classic movies like Up in Smoke, Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie, and Nice Dreams.

The two began by touring the U.S. in the Cheech and Chong Light Up America Tour that expanded to include performance dates in Canada, Australia, and other stops around the world. By the end of the tour the two had already begun working on an animated feature and mentioned the possibility of Cheech and Chong on Broadway.

Fans of the comedic duo in the 1970s- back when Cheech and Chong were just a stage show- will remember fondly the songs that made the two “hippie” comedians a hit. They conquered audiences with Sister Mary Elephant and put a music video for Basketball Jones. The music parodied the times and the genres themselves, though always in a playful light.

Since then Cheech and Chong have gone from comedy show to albums to movies to television careers and solo acts. The two have found a place in the entertainment world as a duo again and seem intent on making the most of their stay in the limelight. Cheech and Chong on Broadway would be a welcome addition to that fine history that seemed to end so abruptly in the late 1980s after the rift in the friendship grew too large to overcome.
