Hair: The Musical Returns to Broadway in ‘09
Alive Mind is proud to offer "Hair: Let the Sun Shine In", a new documentary film by Pola Rapaport and Wolfgang Held.
Since its overwhelming success on Broadway forty years ago, "Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical", has inspired generations with its messages of love, non-violence and liberation. "Hair: Let the Sun Shine In" is the definitive and entertaining documentary that highlights the continuing relevance of the show and its still radical, transformative power. "Hair: Let the Sun Shine In" contains a wealth of archival footage covering U.S. and international productions; original interviews and new segments featuring Milos Forman, Keith Carradine, Ben Vereen, Melba Moore, author James Rado, composer Galt MacDermot, director Tom O'Horgan and others. Hair: Let the Sun Shine In conveys the portrait of an era, a generation and its politics that speaks to today’s audience.
Following the successful revival at Shakespeare in the Park this summer, Playbill announced the acclaimed production of "Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" will return to Broadway at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre beginning March 5th 2009.
“Without exception [Hair: Let the Sun Shine In] is the best HAIR film I have seen.”- Michael Butler, producer of the Broadway production of HAIR
