The Summer of Love Concert was created by Glen Burtnik, alumnus of Styx, the original Beatlemania on Broadway (he played Paul). The Summer of Love Concert cast is comprised of approximately 16 performers including featured vocalists, a horn section, strings, keyboards, background vocalists and an incredible rock rhythm section who combined, faithfully re-create “absolutely live”, the songs and the psychedelically flavored spirit of the Woodstock Generation enhanced by an exciting, psychedelic lighting and video show!
