WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Dream a Little Dream travels back to the 1960s to tell the story of The Mamas and The Papas. John, Michelle, Denny and Mamma Cass etched their songs and their free spirit into the soul of the decade. Papa Denny Doherty and a six-piece band revisit the Greenwich Village folk scene and the sexed-up, acid-soaked music world of LA. This new musical features a roster of greatest hits including "Monday, Monday," "Words of Love," "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon)," "California Dreamin'," "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Some Flowers In Your Hair)" and, of course, "Dream a Little Dream."

Added performances on Sunday at 7:30pm!!
