Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical
Book by Gerome Ragni & James Rado/Music by Galt MacDermot
Directed by Barbara Murray/Choreographed by Pauline Locsin-Kanter
This ground-breaking rock musical continues to captivate with its raw and at times irreverent exploration of the 1960’s counterculture. In the face of the Vietnam War, Claude and his tribe form a tight community rooted in their ideals of universal peace, free love, and psychedelic experimentation. Featuring classics Aquarius, Good Morning Starshine, and title song Hair. Contains adult content, parental guidance suggested.
