HAIR at Onstage Theatre

Set in the tumultuous 1960s, HAIR follows the story of the twenty-somethings of New York City who band together to form a tribe--the hippies--as a cry of protest against the Vietnam War. On his way to enlist in the U.S. Army, Oklahoma farm boy Claude meets the energetic, irrepressible tribe of Central Park hippies. This free-spirited tribe, led by the charismatic Berger, inspires Claude to rebel against the war, his parents, and society, and to assert love, peace, and freedom.

From its groundbreaking use of rock music in musical theater to its fearless depiction of the decade’s stark realities--from the bohemian underground, the sexual revolution, and the violent anti-war movement--HAIR is an unforgettable and iconic production that is truly a product of its time, and continues to be a relevant piece of theater up to today
