Story

Set in an East Village park in 1967, Hair is the musical story of a group of hippies who celebrate peace and love in the shadow of the Vietnam War. The loose plotline centers on Berger, the charismatic leader of the “tribe,” and Claude, a sweet-natured guy from Queens who’s about to be drafted. Other memorable characters include Berger’s war protester girlfriend Sheila, lovable flower child Crissy, Mick Jagger fan Woof, Claude’s straight-laced parents and many more. But the real star of Hair is the rocking score, which includes such classic hits as “Let the Sun Shine In,” “Aquarius” and “Good Morning Starshine.”

Reviews

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.

"Thrilling! This emotionally rich revival delivers what Broadway otherwise hasn't felt this season: intense, unadulturated job. Cuddly, sweet, madcap and ecstatic, the young cast members are tearing down the house, and any theatergoer with a pulse will find it hard to resist their invitation to join the demolition crew."

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

"Triumphant, glorious and breathtaking! Hair is a musical for the ages because it's a musical for the now.""

New York Post

Elisabeth Vincentelli

"A celebration of life and freedom, and a good high time!"

New York Daily News

Joe Dziemianowicz

"Raucous, powerful, exuberant and achingly timely, Hair finds a modern pulse of fury and hope."

Newsday

Linda Winer

"****! Tune in, turn on and be prepared for an exhilarating ride. Hair is transcendent, with a scrumptious rock-candy score and a flawless cast!"

USA Today

Elysa Gardner

"This radiant production will leave you on a serious high!"

Entertainment Weekly

Melissa Rose Bernardo

"****! The most exciting new show in town - not so much a breath of spring air as a jolt of adrenaline! Hair feels utterly of the moment in its exuberance, its power to involve and, in Diane Paulus' entrancing production, to move us. There's nothing like Hair!"
