The 1960s musical Hair is a profound exploration not just of hippie culture but of what it means to be human. Topics explored include racism, the Vietnam War, pollution, love, the human body, and Sixties politics.
Included are classic songs like "Aquarius"; "Good Morning Starshine"; "Frank Mills"; "Easy to be Hard"; "Let the Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures)"; "Ain't Got No"; and, of course, "Hair."
