The rock musical Hair has been produced many times over the years in Kansas City, but never has it been presented the way the Kansas City Repertory Theatre brought it to the Spencer Theatre on opening night March 27. Artistic Director Eric Rosen directs Hair: Retrospective, which runs through April 12 at the theater on the University of Missouri at Kansas City campus. The retrospective may actually be more enjoyable than the musical itself, (not just my opinion, heard from audience members also).

Simply hearing the name Ben Vereen uttered invokes the magic and allure of Broadway. From originating key roles in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR and PIPPIN, Vereen has called the stages of Broadway home for years. Therefore, it is no surprise that he commands an audience with charm and pizzazz, easily entertaining a full house at 54 Below with his new cabaret show STEPPIN' OUT.

HAIR is both a joyous celebration of youth and a poignant journey through a tumultuous 1960s America!

SRO's Hair is performing at the Columbus Performing Arts Center, 549 Franklin Ave., Columbus, OH 43215. Performances run March 6th to March 15th. Friday & Saturday @ 8:00 pm, Sunday @ 2:00 pm.

One of the most iconic Broadway scores, HAIR features more modern 'hit' songs than any show in history: 'Aquarius,' 'Let The Sun Shine In,' 'Easy To Be Hard,' 'Good Morning Starshine,' and the title song became chart-topping hits, Grammy winners, Gold or Platinum records, or all of the above. The original Broadway cast recording of HAIR remains one of greatest selling pop albums of all time and among the most beloved in music history.

For Canfield and Kelly's From Broadway to Survivor cabaret, the charming couple shared with audiences their New York experiences, love story, and their vibrant talents. This made for a fun night of Broadway showmanship that amused the collected audience.
