The Mellow Yellow Experience is an immersive musical theater show that transports audience members back to the time when the "Baby Boomers" came of age. The social and political upheaval of the late sixties had a major influence on popular music that still resonates today. In the Mellow Yellow Experience, five accomplished and versatile musicians perform authentic renditions of the era's greatest songs while a stunning multi-media presentation brings each of the songs to life.
For example, "Ohio" is played along with archival footage of the Kent State protests and president Nixon's reaction. "Space Oddity" by David Bowie is played with the images of the Apollo missions and first lunar landing. "Psychedelic" songs like "White Rabbit" are performed with an authentic recreation of the liquid light shows originally seen at the Fillmore West and Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco.
Add to this a pair of Go Go dancers, outrageous costumes and sixties "pop-art" set pieces, and you've got a full-on, far-out experience of an era gone by. Our performers are well versed in the cultural, historical and technical significance of the music and are available for meet and greet sessions as well as "history of rock and roll" seminars linked to performances.
