The ground breaking tribal rock musical of the late 1960's with book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and score by Galt MacDermot, is a product of the 1960’s hippie counterculture and sexual revolution.

A Rock Musical built on optimism with songs that fill your heart and with songs that will break it. Based in New York's Greenwich Village, it tells the story of a group of flower children fighting a peaceful revolution in a war hungry world.

The time is 1968 and Vietnam is sucking the life force from America's young men, to the tune of 3500 body bags per week, all parallels that can be aligned to current world conflicts. The flower children sing a new song, heralded by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Timothy Leary and Andy Warhol, a song of freedom for the body and mind, beads, flowers, freedom and happiness.
