WHERE IS BUM FARTO? KEY WEST’S NOTORIOUS DRUG-DEALING FIRE CHIEF IS NOW A MUSICAL

November 3, 2021

Based on a true and crazy story from the 1970s era in Key West’s fascinating history, about the charismatic local fire chief who disappeared in 1976 after being arrested on drug charges, this musical features a cast of 18 singers, dancers and actors performing 14 song-and-dance numbers in styles ranging from salsa to Carolina shag and even includes a tap-dancing “square fish,” the nickname ascribed to the floating bales of drugs that often washed ashore in the Florida Keys.
