Hair - Musical

With a score including such enduring musical numbers as "Let the Sunshine In," "Aquarius," "Hair" and "Good Morning Starshine," Hair depicts the the birth of a cultural movement in the 60's and 70's that changed America forever: the musical follows a group of hopeful, free-spirited young people who advocate a lifestyle of pacifism and free-love in a society riddled with intolerance and brutality during the Vietnam War. As they explore sexual identity, challenge racism, experiment with drugs and burn draft cards, the "tribe" in Hair creates an irresistible message of 'hope' that continues to resonate with audiences 40 years later.

Running Time:
2 hours and 25 minutes, including one 15 minute intermission

Audience:
Hair is a celebration of the 1960s and the counter-culture which heralded a lifestyle of peace, love, and understanding as well as sex, drugs and rock and roll. While many parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other grown-ups have found this show suitable and engaging for young adults (13 and older), parental discretion is advised. There is a dimly lit 20-second scene with nudity that is non-sexual in nature.
Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.

For a direct account of bringing a young person to Hair, please see Robin Pogebrin's article from The New York Times "Babes in Broadwayland: How Old is Enough?"
