The year is 1968. It's the age of psychotropic drugs, the age of speaking out and sitting
in, the age of free love, the age of rock and roll. It is the age of war...and peace. This
summer, Austin’s own tribe of the Age of Aquarius will stand up, sing out and let their hair
down in the counter culture which gave birth to a movement that changed the world forever.
HAIR runs August 18 – September 11 at City Theatre.
See our tribe endure the good, the bad, and the worst this tumultuous decade had to offer in City Theatre's production of the immortal rock musical extravaganza Hair. It's an Austin version of Hair, what more could you ask for?
From The Live Music Capital of the World, Austin’s own present The Capital Rock
Musical Event.
Musical Event.
The most celebrated and groundbreaking of all rock musicals written by Gerome Ragni
and James Rado with music and lyrics by Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni and James
Rado. HAIR mirrors the thoughts and feelings of a young and free-spirited generation in
turmoil over the Vietnam War choosing to raise their voices in celebration of love, life and
freedom. The show was a pioneer in musical history that discussed the sensitive topics
like sexual revolution, anti-war protests and drug use. With some of the most rousing and
soulful songs ever written including "Let the Sun Shine In," "Easy to be Hard," "Good
Morning Starshine," "Aquarius" and the infectious title song, HAIR takes a “trip” back to
the days of beads-flowers-happiness but endures with powerful messages still relevant
today. See the tribe endure the good, the bad, and the worst this tumultuous decade had
to offer in City Theatre's production of the immortal rock musical event.
