The hippie ideology of the late 1960s sought a new world order based on love, peace and harmony. The Tribe have chosen to live together in a commune led by the charismatic Berger. As they act out their lives, we glimpse their beliefs and vision for a better world. At a time when thousands of young men were going to fight in Vietnam, they refused, and dared for the first time to challenge authority and ask why.

Ground-breaking when first produced, Hair arguably defined the rock musical genre, with amazing musical numbers (“Hair”, “Let the Sunshine In”, “Aquarius”) and a strong, poignant message.

"Quite possibly the most engaging and enthralling amateur dramatics show I have come across – ever." - London Theatre 1

"Beautifully choreographed and brilliantly sung... The action, dance and music blended seamlessly together to create a slick, tight production." - Sardines Magazine

"The movement and music are always completely tuned to the meaning of the lyrics which, because of the excellent sound balance, you can always hear clearly. The great musical moments were always going to be the ensemble singing of the entire cast as the tribe who have an extraordinary knack of shifting pace, tempo and harmonies with a speed and conviction that could leave you breathless." - British Theatre Guide
