HAIR won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Musical Revival as well as the Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical. The show was also nominated for an additional seven Tony Awards including Best Direction, Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design, and Best Sound Design. The cast recording was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.
With a score including such enduring musical numbers as “Let the Sun Shine In,” Aquarius,” “Hair” and “Good Morning Starshine,” HAIR depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the ’60s and ’70s that changed America forever. The show resonates with an irresistible message of hope more than 40 years after it first opened on Broadway.
The New York Times says “Diane Paulus’s thrilling, emotionally rich production delivers intense, unadulterated joy,” and Time Out New York says “HAIR speaks to a whole new generation!” Bloomberg News calls it “The most exciting show in town! HAIR feels utterly of the moment in its power to move us. There’s nothing like it.” And Variety insists “If this explosive production doesn’t stir something in you, it may be time to check your pulse.”
The full creative team behind the Broadway production is on board for the National Tour, including Diane Paulus (Director), Karole Armitage (Choreography), Scott Pask (Scenic Design), Michael McDonald (Costume Design), Kevin Adams (Lighting Design) and Acme Sound Design (Sound Design). HAIR features a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot.
So get your friends together and let the shine in as you experience HAIR!
