Ragni, Rado & MacDermot: Hair - 2009 Broadway Cast

Hair is back! Under the direction of Diane Paulus, Hair arrived on Broadway after a run as part of the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park 2008. Featuring book and lyrics by the late Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot, this brand new production opened to rave reviews on Broadway March 31, 2009 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre and went on to win the Tony award for Best Revival of a Musical.

The cast of the Broadway revival of Hair features Will Swenson as Berger, Tony nominee Gavin Creel as Claude, Sasha Allen as Dionne, Caissie Levy as Sheila, Allison Case as Crissy, Kacie Sheik as Jeanie, Bryce Ryness as Woof and Darius Nichols as Hud.

With a score including such enduring musical numbers as Let the Sun Shine In, Aquarius, Hair and Good Morning Starshine, Hair depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the `60s and `70s that changed America forever. The musical follows a group of hopeful, free-spirited young people who advocate a lifestyle of pacifism and free-love in a society riddled with intolerance and brutality during the Vietnam War. As they explore sexual identity, challenge racism, experiment with drugs and burn draft cards, the "tribe" in Hair creates an irresistible message of hope, peace and change that continues to resonate with audiences 40 years later.
