The
Story
(based on Johnny Reggae) A new script has been developed for “Reggae Son” but traces of “Johnny Reggae” remain. Johnny becomes Sonny. Miss Inez remains. Nuffus is now Wapsie. Mrs. Dry Up and Freddy are back but with new agendas. New characters have been introduced like the three dance hall queens - Oneisha, Twoneisha and Threeneisha. Cutie returns as Wapsie’s secretary but her character has evolved a bit differently from her predecessor’s. Now she is the love of Freddy Dry Up’s life. Bootoo and Spengeh return, crazier than before. The story remains much the same, Sonny, is in love with Wendy Sue but her father Wapsie will have none of the relationship. He proudly introduces Wendy Sue to Freddy Dry Up as a more suitable fiancé (that is rich), but Wendy Sue only has eyes for Sonny, and Freddy for Cutie. Sonny heads off on a overseas tour and returns triumphant. Sonny and Miss Inez show Wapsie that life is not all about material things. True love prevails and a wedding is in store by the Finale.
