The Public Theater celebrates the 50th anniversary of the legendary musical HAIR, which first premiered at The Public in 1967. With book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni, and music by Galt MacDermot, the anniversary evening was directed by Diane Paulus, who directed the 2009 Tony Award-winning revival. The show features original company members of the Free Shakespeare in the Park production and recent Tony Award-winning revival. After Free Shakespeare in the Park was firmly established in its permanent home at the Delacorte Theater in 1962, Joseph Papp turned his attention to expanding the theater's scope to produce contemporary writers alongside the great works of William Shakespeare. In October of 1967, Papp first opened the doors to The Public's downtown theatrical home on Astor Place with a revolutionary new musical, HAIR.
