CALIFORNIA DREAMING to Bring 'Summer of Love' Tour to Melbourne

42 years ago the great Mama Cass of Mamas and Papas fame died of a heart attack. To celebrate the life of this larger than life singer known for her songs like Dream a Little Dream and Make Your Own Kind of Music, the stars of the hit touring show CALIFORNIA DREAMING - The Music of the Mamas and the Papas are finally bringing their 'Summer of Love Tour' to Melbourne and it promises to be a real psychedelic trip down memory lane.

Cass Elliot, Denny Doherty, Michelle Phillips and John Phillips were The Mamas and the Papas, the group that sold an incredible 40 million albums world-wide during their short and turbulent history, and for one night only you will be taken back to the magic of the flower-power era.

CALIFORNIA DREAMING has been touring Australia since 2014, playing to thousands of people and receiving standing ovations at every performance. The group is about to head overseas but before they leave Australia's shores it's Melbourne's turn to hear the unforgettable sounds and harmonies of CALIFORNIA DREAMING.

Starring Alana Tranter, Michelle Brasier, James Cutler and Evan Lever, four of Australia's hottest musical theatre talents, along with the sizzling Wonderland Avenue Band, this tour de force concert celebrates all things Mamas and Papas - their lives, their loves and their sensational music.

Interwoven with stories about the group and their music, and set on a stage reminiscent of the Ed Sullivan Show, you will hear all their mega hits - Monday Monday, San Francisco, Dedicated to the One I Love, Make Your Own Kind of Music, California Dreamin' and Dream a Little Dream, including songs sung by the group, but made famous by The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Righteous Brothers, Rogers and Hart, Marvin Gaye and many more.

Wear your bell-bottom jeans, kaftans and peace symbols with pride as soon you'll be dancing in the street as the stars of California Dreaming make their own kind of music on this, their 'Summer of Love Tour'.
