Choose options
The 2001 City Center Encores! production of Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni, and James Rado’s 'Hair' brought a thrilling, vocally staggering, and critically adored concert revival of the tribal love-rock musical to the New York stage. Directed by-subscription, this high-profile staging focused with symphonic clarity on the rock-and-roll score and its anti-war themes, stripping away decades of performance excess. The short-run production achieved immense cultural profile due to its breakout young ensemble cast, starring Idina Menzel, Luther Creek, Miriam Shor, and Kevin Cahoon executing standards like "Aquarius."
