Get away from the heat this summer and take in a musical at Desert Stage Theatre. From July 10 to August 9, the Scottsdale venue is running a live production of the rock musical "Hair" every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Set in the 1960s, this groovy, groundbreaking production is based off the original musical, which debuted in 1967 and defined the genre of "rock musical." With a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot, it is a must-see for theater fans residing in the Phoenix area.
"Hair" is a rock musical set in America during the '60s. It tells the story of a political hippie group known as the "tribe," who are against drafting and the Vietnam War. During the musical, one of the main characters, Claude, finds himself in a compromising situation where he has to choose between fighting the draft with his friends or giving in to society and going to Vietnam. The production highlights his story and gives audiences a close look at the sometime tumultuous relationship between conservative and liberal America in the '60s.
Running for a limited time only, "Hair" is an exhilarating rock musical you should see this summer. Tickets for the show can be purchased online now. Get yours today!
