Trip of love

What is TRIP OF LOVE?

It was a time when innocence was lost, love and war were at odds and people were born to be wild, a time that gave rise to the some of the most unbelievable movements in history-and now the most unforgettable new musical to hit New York in years.

In one evening, you’ll experience it all over again in TRIP OF LOVE, the all-new all-song-and-dance show about a young girl’s journey down the rabbit hole and up to an ultimate musical high. While the songs of the 60s and cast of 23 paint the story, Tony Award®

 

winners Robin Wagner (The ProducersDreamgirls) and Gregg Barnes (Something Rotten!, Kinky BootsAladdin) bring it all together with sets and costumes inspired by the psychedelic style and fashion of the era.

So turn on, tune in and drop by Stage 42 (formerly “The Little Shubert Theatre”) for your one-way ticket back: TRIP OF LOVE. Take it and you may never want to return to reality again.
