Brimming with energy, passion and music, Hair is an entertaining and powerful tribute to the 60s. In the Age of Aquarius, a time of harmony and understanding, Hair tells the story of the "Tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired hippies fighting against conscription to the Vietnam War and living a bohemian life together in New York City. They struggle to balance their young lives, loves and the sexual revolution with their pacifist rebellion against the war and the conservative impulses of their parents and society. Phenomenal musical numbers include Aquarius, Good Morning Starshine, I Believe in Love, Hair, I Got Life, What a Piece of Work Is Man and Let the Sunshine In, and many of these became Top 40 hits. As a social commentary of our times, Hair provides an insight into the philosophy of the flower children of the 1960's with a vitality, a timelessness and a meaning that lives on today.
