Hair at The Downtown Palace Theatre

Why see Hair?

Let the Sunshine in!

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Hair is back in an all new production! One of the defining musicals of the 1960s, Hair is a mind-altering exploration of sex, drugs and politics that led Broadway into the modern age with its counter-culture message. While its hippie aesthetics may seem outdated, Hair's themes of human equality couldn't be more relevant to our modern age. Among its iconic numbers, many of which became pop standards in their own right, are 'I Got Life' and 'Aquarius'.

The show's original writer-lyricist James Rado has revised the book for this new tour, which is directed by Michael Arabian.

What is Hair About?

Hair centers on a 'tribe' of young hippies living in a commune New York. The Vietnam War is well under way, and the possibility of conscription casts a dark shadow over the group. Against this backdrop, they must struggle to establish their identity in a country which seems to stand for everything that they're against.

HAIR~~~RAISING!!!

My parents adored the music from the original Broadway production and went to experience it in San Francisco in the late '60's and it transformed their lives. I grew-up on the soundtrack of HAIR, and I finally had the opportunity to experience it for myself in Reno, Nevada. The production was beyond amazing...the music stupendous, the actors/singers/musicians extraordinary, and I really felt my parent's spirits with me (both are in the "next dimension" now). I have seen more than a few productions on Broadway and in London's West End, and I rate this production amongst this category of incredible MUST SEE shows ever produced for the stage. I left the theatre feeling transformed and HAPPY. A truly natural HIGH, LOL!!! All good!!! ... Read more

AMAZING Show!!!

Saw this show in Cleveland and the revitalization from the '60's fits back into our current time of war. It's beautiful,heart wrenching, toe tapping, get up and dance fun. This is NOT a show for kids. You must be an opened minded adult to truly enjoy the wonder of this show!!! But the talent that comes with this show will awe you! Enjoy!!!! ... Read more
