In August 2011, Magnormos, the champions of Australian musical theatre, staged a sell-out production of another new Aussie musical, although in this case about the American subject of folk rock group, The Mamas and the Papas. A little short of two years and bundles of accolades later (including a Green Room Award), the humble confines of St Kilda’s Theatreworks have been foregone for a premium city venue and a grander production to match, as Flowerchildren graduates from being a ‘fringe’ production to the big time.
