HAIR

SoLuna Studio, Neighbor
Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical  is a rock musical with a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot. A product of the hippie counter-culture and sexual revolution of the 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and controversy.The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale.

      Hair tells the story of the "tribe", a group of politically active, long-haired hippies of the "Age of Aquarius" living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War.
Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends
struggle to balance their young lives, loves and the sexual revolution
with their rebellion against the war and their conservative parents and
society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to resist the draft
as his friends have done, or to succumb to the pressures of his parents
(and conservative America) to serve in Vietnam, compromising his pacifistic principles and risking his life.
