"Hair" is an energetic experience full of powerful rock music and psychedelic trips. Its raw wildness, experimental narrative form and political impact initially caused a scandal when it premiered on Broadway in 1968, but it quickly became a worldwide cult hit. For the first time, large theaters became the stage for the peace movement and the youth counterculture. Songs like "Let The Sunshine In" and "Ain't Got No" subsequently became global hits.
Like no other musical, "Hair" is a plea against war and captures the zeitgeist of the young generation not only of the 1960s, but from the hippie movement to Fridays For Future. Thus, this rock musical about the longing for a better and more peaceful future has lost none of its power to this day.
