Hairstyle Men Short Biography
Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is a rock musical with a
book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt
MacDermot. A product of the hippie counter-culture and sexual revolution
of the 1960s, several of its songs became anthems of the anti-Vietnam
War peace movement. The musical's profanity, its depiction of the use of
illegal drugs, its treatment of sexuality, its irreverence for the
American flag, and its nude scene caused much comment and
controversy.The musical broke new ground in musical theatre by defining
the genre of "rock musical", using a racially integrated cast, and
inviting the audience onstage for a "Be-In" finale.Hair opened on
Broadway at the Biltmore Theatre on April 29, 1968. The production was
directed by Tom O'Horgan and choreographed by Julie Arenal, with set
design by Robin Wagner, costume design by Nancy Potts, and lighting
design by Jules Fisher. The original Broadway "tribe" (i.e., cast)
included authors Rado and Ragni, who played the lead roles of Claude and
Berger, respectively, and Lynn Kellogg as Sheila, Lamont Washington as
Hud, Sally Eaton and Shelley Plimpton reprising their off-Broadway roles
as Jeanie and Crissy, Melba Moore as Dionne, Steve Curry as Woof,
Ronnie Dyson (who sang "Aquarius"), Paul Jabara and Diane Keaton (both
Moore and Keaton later played Sheila).Among the performers who appeared
in Hair during its original Broadway run were Ben Vereen, Keith
Carradine, Barry McGuire, Ted Lange, Meat Loaf, Kenny Seymour (of Little
Anthony and The Imperials), Joe Butler (of the Lovin' Spoonful), Peppy
Castro (of the Blues Magoos), Robin McNamara, Heather MacRae (daughter
of Gordon MacRae), Eddie Rambeau, Vicki Sue Robinson, Beverly Bremers
and Kim Milford.The Hair team soon became embroiled in a lawsuit with
the organizers of the Tony Awards. After assuring producer Michael
Butler that commencing previews by April 3, 1968 would assure
eligibility for consideration for the 1968 Tonys, the New York Theatre
League later ruled Hair ineligible, moving the cutoff date to March 19.
The producers brought suit but were unable to force the League to
reconsider. At the 1969 Tonys, Hair was nominated for Best Musical and
Best Director but lost out to 1776 in both categories. The production
ran for four years and 1,750 performances, closing on July 1, 1972
