FLOWERCHILDREN Returns to Comedy Theatre Tonight

By:

Magnormos brings back their award-winning original musical flowerchildren, for a limited season at the Comedy Theatre in May 2013.

The exciting musical tells the turbulent story of iconic group The Mamas and The Papas, tracing their spectacular rise to fame in 1966 and their tragic demise only four years later.

With unforgettable melodies and tight vocal harmonies, flowerchildren features a score of the group's timeless hits including Words of Love, Monday Monday, Dedicated to the One I Love, Creeque Alley and the iconic California Dreamin'.

Penned by AFI Award winning writer, Peter Fitzpatrick, the musical explores the distrust, dangerous passions, and complex entanglements behind the group, who sold 40 million records worldwide and were the first group to knock The Beatles from the number one spot on the Billboard charts.
