The original rock musical, Hair, comes alive again on The Umbrella’s stage to tell the tale of a tribe of young political activists fighting to preserve their principles and way of life. A product of the hippie counterculture and sexual revolution of the 1960s, it’s score became an anthem of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement and shattered musical theatre conventions during its original Broadway production which ran for over 1700 performances. Time magazine says that, "Today Hair seems, if anything, more daring than ever."
