On Monday, July 27th at 9:00pm Sundance Channel presents Hair: Let the Sunshine In (U.S. Television Premiere) - Directed by Pola Rapaport. This richly illustrated history of "Hair" examines the origins, impact and enduring power of the "tribal love-rock musical" that opened off-Broadway in 1967 and moved to Broadway in 1968.

Written by New York actors James Rado and Gerome Ragni with music by Galt McDermot, "Hair" had been seen by 30 million people worldwide by the time it ended its initial Broadway run in 1972. Hair, Let the Sunshine In captures preparations for the recent, Tony Award-nominated revival as it weaves together archival footage (including a cast performances on "The Tonight Show") with the candid recollections of "Hair" veterans, including co-creator/ star Rado, composer McDermot, director Tom O'Horgan and performers Melba MooreBen Vereen, Keith Carradine and Mary Lorrie Davis.
