There is a play beginning in Phoenix on April 25th thur May 20th, called "Dream a Little Dream"...the Life and Times of the Mamas &The Papas. This is the play that was produced and directed by Denny Doherty.
My twin brother who lives in Phoenix saw it a few years ago when it had its debut there . At that time it was called the "almost true story of the M & P." He said it was great! He knew how dissapointed I was that I was not able to see it, so he bought me a really cool tye-dyed shirt that they were selling at the show. The play was a great success at the time and even broke all records for attendance at this 80 year old theater....so they have brought it back. Not sure who all is in it this time, but the lady who plays Cass, Alisa Schiff is the same one who was there before and even had her own off broadway show called "Mama Said....the Songs of Cass Elliot. She had great reviews! I believe this was in production back in 2006. A recent picture in the Phoenix showed the four actors in a replicia pose of the M&P, and it was amazing how much they resemble each especially the Michelle and Denny characters.
So I am going next month to see it...despite just spending spring break there two weeks ago.
While in Phoenix there were all sorts of posters and banners with picture of the Mamas & Papas, announcing its coming. We even went to the theater to see if we could buy some posters and they were thrilled we wanted to buy a few. I took some pictures and would share these here but I am not sure how to do that on this site.
There was a large permanent picture above the theater box office of Alisa striking a pose of Cass when she held the poster on stage that said "Cass is Ominpotent"!!
Will let everyone know when I get back from the play!
