The new documentary, 'Hair: Let the Sun Shine In,' after screenings at the Webster University Film Series in April, will air on July 27 at 8:00 p.m. on the Sundance Channel. Award-winning filmmaker Pola Rappaport?s documentary excavates the origins of this culturally transformative theatre work, including interviews with co-creator James Rado and original cast members, as well as abundant and rare archival footage. The result is a delectable deconstruction of a musical that defined an era, a generation and its politics. New Line Theatre's artistic director Scott Miller, author of the book 'Let the Sun Shine In: The Genius of Hair,' is also featured in the film. New Line Theatre produced HAIR last fall to enormous critical acclaim.
