"The kids are all right. Quite a bit more than all right."
--The New York Times

"There was nothing like HAIR when it opened on Broadway in April 1968, and there's nothing like the revival. HAIR was then and is now…a jolt of adrenaline."
--Bloomberg

A celebration of life, a love letter to freedom, and a passionate cry for hope and change, HAIR defined one generation and continues to inspire today. Join the tribe of the Age of Aquarius for the story of a group of friends choosing to speak up and sing out in celebration of love, life, and freedom. The first great rock musical, it has some of the most rousing and soulful songs ever written for the stage, including "Let the Sun Shine In," "Good Morning Starshine," "Aquarius," and the infectious title song, "Hair." The New York Times raved, "Diane Paulus's thrilling, emotionally rich production delivers intense, unadulterated joy."

Performance Timing: Act I - 72 min.; Intermission - 15 min.; Act II - 57 min
