Hair, the tribal rock musical
that defined the “Age of Aquarius,” is onstage
at Manoa Valley Theatre, now HELD OVER through
March 28.
The story of a group of young Americans
searching for love and peace during the Vietnam era, Hair
is a timeless portrait of a movement that changed the world.
The 1968 Broadway hit blazed a new trail in musical theatre
by defining the genre of the “rock musical.” Its
groundbreaking rock score features some of the greatest songs
ever written for the stage, several becoming Top 40 hits and
anthems of the anti-war movement. The show was revived on
Broadway to acclaim in 2009 as the Age of Aquarius dawns again
in this jubilant new production—a celebration of life,
a love letter to freedom, and a passionate cry for hope and
change.
Songs
include “Aquarius,” “Let the Sun Shine In,”
“Be-In (Hare Krishna),” “Good Morning Starshine,”
“Hair,” and many more.
