Hey Guys. I've been looking online for the Hair libretto but can only find the lyrics. I have an assesment for voice class in a couple of weeks, and was wanting to perform the scene from Hair where Shelia is describing her experience at the march (where she is tear gassed) I'm aware it's not a very long piece, but it only has to be a short section.

If anyone knows it of-by-heart, or has a link to it I'd be so greatful!:)

The larger part of the monologue to which you refer (the segment in which Sheila is tear-gassed in D.C.) isn't a part of the licensed script. It was a new insert added to the original book dialogue by the show's co-author Jim Rado for the revival. Your best bet is to transcribe the spoken part from a bootleg (or if it's on the cast recording, get it from there).
