The Public Theater (Artistic Director Oskar Eustis; Executive Director Mara Manus) will present HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical at The Delacorte Theater in Central Park this summer. Directed by Diane Paulus and choreographed by Karole Armitage, with book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot, HAIR has been extended a second time by popular demand, and will now run through September 7.

Public Theater Artistic Director Oskar Eustis said, “HAIR was the last stage musical to become America’s soundtrack, and it belongs in the Delacorte—the people’s theater.”

HAIR was the show that, in 1967, officially opened The Public Theater’s long-time home on Lafayette Street. HAIR has the distinction of being the first off-Broadway musical to transfer to Broadway. It moved to Broadway on April 29, 1968 and ran for 1,873 performances.

HAIR will feature scenic design by Scott Pask, costume design by Michael McDonald, lighting design by Michael Chybowski and sound design by Acme Sound Partners.

Featuring the songs “Aquarius,” “Easy To Be Hard,” “Good Morning Starshine,” “Let The Sun Shine In,” and others, HAIR was immortalized in the 1979 movie starring Treat Williams and Beverly D’Angelo, directed by Milos Forman and featuring choreography by Twyla Tharp.

“The rock musical that changed everything.”
