'Let the Sunshine In' at HAIR at the Long Center, 3/4

By:

After unpredictable Texas winter weather, Austin is finally ready to Let the Sunshine In. Tony Award winning musical Hair brushes through the Long Center March 4 as part of the 2013-2014 Broadway series. Enter the Age of Aquarius and a time of peace, love and rebellion- not to mention sexual revolution- as the 1960s take over Dell Hall. Tickets start at $29 and are on sale now.

Hair follows a group of young, politically active hippies living and rebelling in 1960's New York City. This "tribe" fights against the Vietnam draft as they struggle to balance life, love, and a sexual revolution against their conservative parents and society. The rock opera premiered on Broadway in April 1968, running for 1,750 performances over four years. Hair opened on London's West End in September 1968, surpassing the Broadway run with 1,997 performances until its closure in 1973. The musical was revived on Broadway in March of 2009, and went on to win the 2009 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.

The musical features well known hits such as Let the Sunshine In, Age of Aquarius, and the title song, Hair. Experience the magic of Broadway with this historical rock musical which Time magazine calls, "more daring than ever."

For mature audiences only, includes some frontal nudity.
