Editor's note

Hair, the 1967 musical that defined a generation.

A hippie musical from 1967 with songs like "Let The Sunshine In" that became anthems.

For the full spirit of Hair, start with "Let The Sunshine In" and "Frank Mills." They capture the show's hopefulness and its quieter, more personal moments.

Hair gave the late '60s a soundtrack that felt both theatrical and urgent. Songs like "Let The Sunshine In" and "I Got Life" weren't just show tunes; they were rallying cries for peace and freedom. The show's raw energy and anti-war themes made it a cultural flashpoint, not just a Broadway hit.

It started in New York City in 1967, following hippies in the East Village with a score by Galt MacDermot. The original Broadway cast album hit the top 10, and revivals have kept its songs alive in various productions since.

Archive material and source history

Hair premiered in New York City in 1967, a musical with a score by Galt MacDermot and book by Gerome Ragni. It followed a group of hippies in the East Village, and its songs like "Let The Sunshine In" and "I Got Life" became part of the show's fabric. The original Broadway cast album reached the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart.

Some of the original cast members included James Rado as Claude, Gerome Ragni as Berger, and Melba Moore as Dionne. The production drew attention for its content, which included nudity and anti-war themes, but it found an audience. Songs such as "Manchester England" and "Frank Mills" were part of its theatrical mosaic.

The musical's most recognizable number, often listed as "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," became associated with the era's social movements. Other tracks like "Don't Put It Down" and "I'm Black/ain't Got No" reflected the show's range. Hair has been revived and performed in various productions since its original run.
