Reviewer Quotes
“ Sheer, sassy exuberance ”
LA Weekly
“ OUTSTANDING! A visual and aural feast ”
Orange County Register
The first rock musical, and one of the most adventurous, outlandish, and ultimately profound musicals ever. Join the Tribe, a group of long-haired, politically active hippies, as they gather to usher in the dawning of a new age in America. Possessing a timelessness and a meaning that outlives the era of “flower power”, this award-winning musical will provoke you to take part in a celebration of life, and contribute to the passionate cry for hope and change.
Note: This play contains nudity and mature content.
