Hit Rock Musical HAIR Returns to Hollywood
- Full Price:
- $40.00

- $20.00
With spirited music and colorful characters, HAIR remains an audience favorite, long after its original Broadway debut in the '60s. Indeed, the 2009 revival cast recording was Billboard's top-selling Broadway album. High-energy inspirational songs like "Aquarius," "Let the Sun Shine In," "Good Morning, Starshine" and "Easy To Be Hard" continue to stir theater audiences as they witness a "tribe" of politically-active New York City friends searching for answers in turbulent 1967. Though the long-haired bohemian companions may look different in style from today's youth, they face the same essential struggle to separate from their parents, define themselves in society, and stand by their personal beliefs in the face of pressure to conform. Award-winning production company theTRIBE performs this electrifying musical, whose original cast recording was America's top-selling album for 13 weeks. Learn More

Description
Directed By:
Macario Gaxiola
The Cast:
Alice Ensor, Lauren McMeikan and Guest Artist Elizabeth Reilly
Written By:
Max Riley
Originally presented as a world premiere at The Theatre District under the title of “The Room” during EdgeFest in October 2002, BOOM is the product of an intensive workshop process and collaboration between writer Max Riley and Artistic Director Macario Gaxiola.
Three generations of women, a time of fear and challenge in their lives, and the in-evitable love-hate relationship that exists within family set the timer for BOOM. The confines of extended care within a family, and its aftermath, place all of these women in one explosive room, and as each discovers, nothing lights a fuse like family.
Riley’s drama explores a microcosm of society and mirrors what is quickly becoming a reality for “Baby-Boomers” everywhere. More and more “War Babies” are finding themselves in shock as the bombs of their maturing parents explode around them, and the fallout of aging hits their “Peter Pan” generation. Three women, one family, and one room, take us inside that journey.
