Join HAIR's Hippie New Year Party  ImageCome #JoinTheTribe one final time on Friday 12 January 2018 with their Hippie New Year/Closing Party post show from 2215hrs!

After a hugely successful run at The Vaults, the 50th Anniversary production of HAIR is celebrating with a huge late night party the night before it closes.

You can dance the night away and say Good Morning Starshine well into the early hours! Tickets for the post show party are £5 entry each - but if you have attended the show on the night, 12/01/18, just present your ticket at the door of the immersive bar for FREE ENTRY!

The 50th anniversary production of HAIR, the iconic rock musical at London's fully immersive Off-West-End theatre, The Vaults, must close on Saturday 13 January 2018 - so time is running out to #JoinTheTribe and enjoy the genuinely youthful cast bringing the original protest musical to life - in the intimate theatre seating just 200, revealing every emotion up close and personal through HAIR's drug fuelled journey.

HAIR changed the face of musical theatre and is - still as relevant now as it was in the 60s.

1967 and HAIR's hippie-hood youngsters live as The Tribe, in the East Village of New York: yearning to change the world, questioning authority and the American flag. They are wild, colourful, free, sexually liberated beautiful people who join in protest and song - under the shadow of the Vietnam War. Featuring classic hit songs: Aquarius, Let the Sun Shine In and Good Morning Star Shine - and the story of youth and war still resounds throughout the world making this a topical musical for the millennial generation. 2017 vividly sees the world protesting and marching, fighting for freedom of speech; from Trump to Brexit via Syria - the core spirit of HAIR.

Like a mini Woodstock, from the moment the audience arrive, The Vaults is transformed into a fully immersive 60s venue, with psychedelic, innovative creatives and hippie flower power, 60s themed drinks - everything needed for a legal high. The audience then move through to the seated theatre space for HAIR - the musical that changed the face of the modern musical.
