Go-Go Beach :: a new musical


Description

GO-GO BEACH is a new musical fable about the shift of consciousness in America in the mid-sixties, told in the style of the popular California beach party movies.

WINNER! Audience Choice Award, SummerWorks Festival, Toronto

It's a coming-of-age story about a surfer who gets into trouble with his girlfriend when he falls for a runaway teen pop star, and his relationship with a flower child who helps him find the true meaning of love.
