SYNOPSIS

Hair takes rock music and the culture that went with it from the streets onto the stage with an energy and excitement that reflects the dynamic time that was the late 1960’s.  It introduced the world to such phenomenal musical numbers as Aquarius, Good Morning Starshine, I Believe In Love, Hair, What a Piece of Work Is Man, and Hippie Life.  This show has a vitality, a timelessness, and a meaning that outlives the late 60’s and early 70’s in America, and in our current unsettled times, speaking again to us about the need to make a choice about what truly matters in our lives.

ON RETAINING SCENES AND SCRIPT

Pat Allegritti is a board member of the Historic Everett Theater. Allegretti supported staying true to the script of “Hair” and not changing the nude scene, or any scene, for that matter. She said that given the choice, she would have opted to not do “Hair” rather than deviate from the script.

“Don’t mess with it,” Allegretti said. “It’s almost libelous, messing with somebody’s work. It’s free speech and a piece of art that shouldn’t be tampered with.”
