Review sneak peek: Flowerchildren:the Mamas and Papas Story

 If you book now, you should be able to get a ticket for Magnormos’s  Flower Children:the Mamas and Papas Story, but there wasn’t a free seat tonight and there are lots of people who will want to see it again, because it is that good.

If you book now, you should be able to get a ticket for Magnormos’s  Flower Children:the Mamas and Papas Story, but there wasn’t a free seat tonight and there are lots of people who will want to see it again, because it is that good.
With a perfect cast, its music captures the exquisite harmonies and unmistakable sound of this group. While evoking nostalgia for late 60s without being indulgent or sentimental, it tells the personal stories of love and disappointment without dwelling on the fame and its false perceptions. 
Don’t worry if your not already a fan of the Mamas and Papas, you will be by the end of this beautiful, honest and heartfelt show. And you’ll know just how sexy a caftan can really be. READ FULL REVIEW HERE www.magnormos.com/flowerchildren.htm
