HAIR

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.

"Today Hair seems, if anything, more daring than ever."
