On and near Broadway, between the tracks
Do not miss. Broadway pleasantly crowded. Last month we saw a 1959 Citroen 2CV -- looked like a child had built it with an erector set. Had a BMW motorcycle engine with five times the original motor’s power, and that mother could peel out and fishtail down Broadway. What a ride. I’m bad, I’m bad, you know it.

In this musical we are introduced to a band of hippies who attempt to create a utopia to cope with a world of turmoil surrounding them. Inspired by the Hippie counterculture of the 60s, we see that our world faces the same issues of sexism, racism, war, and environmental issues now as it did back then. Maybe we can all learn something from a little bit of flower power. For tickets:…
