Hair at Brisbane Powerhouse Arts, Powerhouse Theatre

Hair is the groundbreaking Rock Musical from the 1960s that changed the face of musical theatre. While the ‘Age of Aquarius’ may have dawned a long time ago, Hair continues to fascinate and delight audiences’ young and old alike.

Featuring book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, and music by Galt MacDermot, Hair has been described as both a joyous celebration of youth and freedom, and a poignant journey through the tumultuous 1960s. This musical invites us into the lives of a group of hippie friends as they rebel against the Vietnam War and societal pressure to conform. Hair is the musical that stands for freedom, peace, love and self-expression, all backed by unforgettable songs, including ‘Good Morning Starshine’ and, of course, ‘Hair’.

‘Let the Sunshine’ in with Queensland Conservatorium’s Second Year Musical Theatre students as they breathe new energy into this much-loved musical.
