Let the sun shine: The Age of Aquarius is reborn and as relevant today as it was more than 40 years ago.
The musical that created history by bringing rock ‘n’ roll to the theatrical stage, Hair defines the ’60′s generation by examining a group of young adults struggling for generational and personal identity, dealing with the Vietnam War, drugs and teenage pregnancy. Dynamic score includes “Let the Sunshine In,” “Aquarius” and “Good Morning Starshine.”

Hair is the only show that I’ve ever seen that felt like an experience. The cast aka The Tribe is excellent, the production is fantastic and the songs sound better then ever. The shows themes (Sex, War, Drugs, Race) are as relevant today as they were forty years ago. The best part is the bond that the Tribe forms with the audience. It resonates with everyone long after they’ve left the theater. I urge all theatergoers to order tickets, participate in the show and dance in the finale. You will never forget the Hair experience.
