The first rock musical to hit the Great White Way -- the product of hippie counter-culture and the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

Story:

Berger is the leader of a politically active "tribe" of long haired hippies who include Claude, Berger, Jeannie, Shelia and Woof. But their love-filled way of life is thrown into disarray when Claude is drafted.
