Celebrate classic pop hits from such greats as The Beatles, Tom Jones, Leslie Gore, Jefferson Airplane, Petula Clark, Bob Dylan, The 5th Dimension, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, Nancy Sinatra and more. With a cast a two dozen scorching hot young men and women, Trip of Love takes audiences on a musical journey through a history of rock and roll with such hits as "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," "Downtown," "Venus," "California Dreamin," "You Don't Own Me" and "Wipe Out."
