Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical exploded onto the scene in the late 1960s, becoming a cultural phenomenon that both shocked and captivated audiences. A loose-knit "tribe" of long-haired young people living in New York City took center stage, their lives filled with music, love, and a fierce opposition to the Vietnam War. The show's groundbreaking rock score, featuring iconic songs like "Aquarius" and "Let the Sunshine In," became anthems for a generation yearning for social change.
