I WAS THERE In 1967
Sheila J StarkHair is a microcosm of some aspects of my life as a teen in Greenwich Village in 1967. I was extremely moved
the show was simply amazing

2nd time better than the 1st!
SamAbsolutely amazing! Saw it for the 2nd time on Wednesday

To anyone who has seen it in Central Park but not on Broadway: Go see it on Broadway! It is a revelation! There were astonishing stage effects that would have been impossible in Central Park. I am so, so glad that I finally went.

AnneThis was a great show. The cast was outstanding. WOW!!! I live in the Phoenix area and saw a regional version there (5 times) last January (2009) and just had to see it in NY. My husband and I both loved the show here. We would see it again (and again and again). As much as I loved the current Broadway version of Hair, I thought some of what was done in the Phoenix production was very effective and results in a more powerful ending. Congratulations to Matt DeAngelis for making it to the Broadway production (he was in the Phoenix show)
Nostalgia
katherine hermanWe sat in the front row...loved it! The cast works hard,I especially loved the "Wolf", nearly Owen Wilson look-alike...someone to watch in the future. A wonderful theatrical event.
Great audience interaction!
rc frangellaGreat production! Loved interaction with audience. Very real and nostalgic. Great actors, singers, dancers and musicians; bravo Nadia. Thanks for letting the Sunshine in!
WOW!!!!
Rosemary GatelyTook my daughter and her friend to see Hair for her 16th birthday last Sunday afternoon.It was the first time they had ever seen a Broadway show and both were in awe. One of the male actors danced with my daughters friend and picked her up before placing her back in her chair. We are still talking about how much he made us laugh. The cast was amazing especially Sasha Allen. Her voice was unbelievable! Hair certainly made my daughters 16th birthday very memorable!
Hair
James MayersThis was one of the best Broadway shows we ever went to. We saw the orgininal and this was better that the original. It got the audience involved light no other show we have been to. Fantastic!!!!
WOW!!!!!!!
DanielInteractive, engaging and totally brings you back to the time of "peace and love". The finale was very great and emotionally charged.
AWSOME
richard gouldmy 5th time seeing this production.going many more times
Love love love this show!!!
DebbieI would see this show over and over again! Absolutely amazing the cast is incredible and truly talented. Hope to be seeing this show soon =)
not enough dialog
MicheleHonestly, the singing was INCREDABLE! The musicians were top notch! The problem is that unless you knew the story before you sat down, you would have a hard time following what exactly what was going on. I brought a few people with me who had never seen Hair before and did not know the story. I told them that the message was profound and the music was groundbreaking. At the end of the show, I heard one of them say to the other, "I have no idea what that was about." The other said, I have no idea. I think it was about hippies and sex and something about the war." I was disappointed that there was not enough dialog to explain what was happening for people who didn't know the story prior to entering the theatre. They blew through the songs one after the other. The cast was really great and I had a wonderful time but I wish there was a little more dialog in-between songs.
INREDIBLE
ChristianWithout a doubt the best experience of my life! Broadway gets NO better than this. THE GREATEST SHOW EVER!
Fantastic
theresaThe time of my life..... what a great time! The cast was amazing the singing blew me away! At the end I was up on stage dancing with the cast.... just priceless!

Hair
Betty TuskeI loved it.....I was part of the sixties generation and felt the play was beautiful......I went through alot of emotions during it (reliving my youth)thanks for such a good show.....the cast was fantastic.....I have to put this up on the top of my list of plays (and I have seen alot) thank you
Freedom!
Dr. Anthony F. CapraroI served in Vietnam from May 1968-June 1970 as a LT. in the Navy. I was an F4 jet pilot. When I returned home Hair was a hit on Broadway. I was asked, by my wife, to go see the show. I did not want to go and wondered after seeing the show as to why I went. I could not understand, nor like, the "burn your draft card" mentality! I returned a year later to see Hair a second time and realized what I fought for in Vietnam was freedom. Even though I did not like the hippie movement, nor the way service men were treated when we returned, freedom meant everyone has a right to their opinion. This past Wednesday my wife and I had the pleasure of watching Hair, the new version. A treat! A fantastic cast! A great way for my wife and me to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary. Thank you cast for a wonderful afternoon and reconfirming my insight as to why we fought in Vietnam! Dr. AFC PS: thank you to the two female cast members who came to the mezzanine and who rubbed and kissed my head for luck.
Hair
MaureenThe cast is amazing.This is my second time and I plan on going again. I was a teenager in the sixties but I missed the original show but have the original album and remembered all the songs. You will laugh, smile and even cry. It is the best time you can have on Broadway. Thanks to the cast for taking me back. Peace and Love to you all.
I still have goosebumps.
MeghanI have no words to describe how amazing HAIR was. I had seats right in the front row and was stunned. The cast interaction with the audience is amazing. So much energy. I had an adrenaline rush throughout the whole show. The entire cast was AMAZING, the band was amazing, the music, set, lighting was amazing. The cast was also incredibly nice at the stagedoor. I just got home and already wanna go again!! Best musical EVER!!!!
Exciting and Daring
Bonnie DuranteThis new version of the play "Hair" was exhilarating! The members of the cast were out in the audience engaging the audience during both acts. On the afternoon that I saw the play, two cast members sprained their ankles. That was a shame and slightly detracted from the enjoyment of the show.
outstanding cast
MelanieI went with my husband and we both enjoyed the show. The entire cast was amazing. I wanted to recommend this show to everyone because the songs are beautiful, however the full frontal nudity, the sexual activity simulations and foul language limits this show to adult audience only. If not for the negative aspects mentioned above, this show is entertaining.
We loved HAIR!
AlexisGreat show!! My daughters and I loved it!! It rates as one of my favorites!! I would go see it again!!
A Fabulous Party!!!
Wedon BrownFabulous, Amazing....I felt like I was at a Broadway Party and Celebration rather than a show!!!!!!!
Seeing Hair for the 8th time
SteveMy daughter and i are going to see Hair sunday for the 8th time. It just keeps getting better and better. I feel it tells the story of a part of my life that I can now share with my daughter. Fortunately I failed my draft physical. Peace and Love.
HAIR-TASTIC
Rachel BanksI have been waiting for this musical for years and I was NOT LET DOWN by this performance! It was so much fun to be apart of the audience and I would recommend everyone to see this. The peace and love vibe is one to be spread throughout the diverse world.
AWESOME!!!!!
LisaMy husband and I went twice in July, and just got tickets for August!!! I could go every weekend!!!! AMAZING!!!
: )
jerian incredible smile maker !!! the energy from the cast is contagious !!! bravo !!
Beautiful Peace-filled Magic.
Ally ReeceI have now seen HAIR twice on Broadway, and preformed it with my high school 8 times. This show is PHENOMENAL! It just keeps getting better. HAIR really makes you think about the what is going on in the world. HAIR is fantastic and such a pleasure to be a part of. Peace and Love to the cast and crew. Thank you so much.
Love will keep us together!
NickJust saw Hair! One of the most amazing times I have ever had in the theatre! Love and peace to an amazing cast!
Amazing
MelissaThe play was just magical. It was amazing.

6 times
SteveMy daughter and i have now seen Hair 6 times and we will be back again. Thanks for the flashback. Peace and Love.
speechless
D.J. SweeneyIt took my breath away. I listened to the album when I was 7 years old and memorized every song. I grew up loving this musical and to see it come to life in such a superb way touched me places I never knew could be touched, tactically and cerebrally. Thanks for the joy:)
Life Changing
JamieAs a theatre buff I was eager to see Hair but upon arrival I was completely amazed. A great show with GREAT talent for a truly memorable show
Pure Joy!
LorraineIt was a spectacular show, with amazing performers! I would recommend this musical revival to everyone who wants to be totally entertained!
A Moving Experience
MichaelHair could never be better, WOW. EVERY cast member is stupendous. It has always been one of my favorite shows and even 40 years later is as relevent now as it was then. This is the kind of experience that can inspire the youth of today to get out there and fight for what you believe in and be true to yourself.
INCREDIBLE!
JasonBest show of the season! BY FAR!
Gimme more hair !
AngieWonderful, spiritual, joyful show to see for these times. Still so relevant.

I SAW THE ORIGINAL LOVE THIS ONE I AM GOING AGAIN
DONNA SHARPI saw the Original..I saw this one a month or so ago. I sat in the Orchestra and Touched Will Swenson, Berger. Not knowing his name then. I LOVE THIS SHOW. ITS Better than the ORIGINAL. I got on stage at the end to TELL THE TRIBE THAT. They are FABULOUS. I have seen many shows on Broadway, especially this year..and THIS IS THE BEST!! I AM GOING AGAIN IN JULY. I CANT BELIEVE THAT I AM GOING TWICE TO THE SAME SHOW. I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT..BUT I AM. THATS HOW FABULOUS THE CAST ARE. THEY ARE SO INTO THE SHOW, THE MUSIC AND INTERACTING WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE SEATS..WOW EVERYONE SHOULD SEE THIS PLAY. WHAT A GREAT FEELING!!! ITS UNREAL. I GOT THE HEADSCARF, KEYCHAIN, MAGNET AND SEE WHAT I MAY GET NEXT TIME. ITS A FABULOUS SHOW FOR ALL AGES.. I LIVED IT IN THE 1960S I DONT MIND GOING BACK WITH THIS PRODUCTION.!! GREAT CONTRATS ON THE TONY AWARD AND NOMINATIONS!! SEE YOU IN JULY....DONNA
Amazing
Allythis show was byy far the best show i have ever seen...it is my favorite show now and i feel that i have to see it so many times before i get tired of it
Incredible, Revolutionary, Life-Changing.
Daniel BurnsHAIR is quite possible the most incredible, revolutionary and life-changing experience that has stampeded the Great White Way in the past decade. It brings to life something more than musical theatre and thrusts the audience into a incomparable, joyous celebration of harmony and life. It is more than just a show, more intimate than a spectacle, more personal than a musical.
Amazing
RickyHair is as good if not better, and as significant as it was when I saw it as a teenager 40 years ago. I am sure Galt MacDermot, James Rado, and the late Gerome Ragni are proud of this revival
Fabulous
annieSaw the original in 1968 at the Cheetah and have loved the show ever since. This captured all the exhuberance and pathos of that year.
LOVE
XaviBetter than I expected! Forget the movie, the play is unforgettable experience!!! The cast is perfect, sexy, talented, beautiful... thank you!
Hair - The Best!!!
Sharon InglimaHair was unbelievable. The songs are so wonderful and the artists who performed them have voices sent from heaven. It was such a initimate experience - I felt one with the cast. I have and will recommend the Tribe to everyone and I hope to see this extraordinary play again and again. Sincerely, Sharon - Taurus
An unforgettable experience...
Brian HawkinsI had the distinct privilege of sitting the front row for the May 28 performance of "Hair," and I laughed, I cried, I was moved beyond words at this incredible production. The way the cast immersed themselves in their respective parts and in the action of the show made the show for me, especially watching "Let the Sunshine In." What a beautiful gift this cast, crew, musicians and production staff has given to Broadway and to theatre! May this production run and run and run!
Hair
Gary TinsleyExcellent production. Brought back lots of memories. Already planning another trip to NY just to see the show again. Outstanding cast
Phenomenal.
MelissaI sat in line twice over the summer to see it in the park, and just scored "Be-In Box" seats this weekend. It just keeps getting better - and dancing onstage with the cast at the end, you just feel a part of something bigger than yourself. Celebrating life and love.
Excellent Plus
SamThis was awesome. This is better than the original we saw in the late sixties. The acting was excellent. They captured the spirit of the 60s. Felt like I was transported back in time. Special thanks to Gavin Creel who interacted with us, two original hippies. We feel his acting is so superior that he will be a major star. The whole cast was fantastic. Being up on stage with them to dance and sing "Let the Sun Shine In" will be unforgettable. Talking to the cast members was informative and fun. We will spread the word to everyone to go see "Hair"! Without a doubt, the best play on Broadway.
HAIRRIFIC EXPERIENCE
Joseph TeyssandierI was not watching a show, I was experiencing the most amazing 2 hours of my life. The Tony should have a "Best ensemble performance in a show" category and I am sure Hair would win the first and only one ever!
Forever My Favorite Broadway Musical
Katie MattenI first saw this show at a local theatre when I was sixteen and loved it! It was one of the reasons why i wanted to go into theatre. I would never haved dreamed that I would be able to come to New York City and see it on broadway. It was absolutely amazing! I went up to dance with the cast at the end of the show and really felt like I was apart of something. Love permeates the whole theatre and you just want to shout when you hear something you like! I want to go see it again tomorrow night!
Outstanding!
Andy RosenbergWe loved it - my boys are 7 and 13 and they both enjoyed it greatly. Yes, there are some drug and language issues but my kids are smart and mature for their ages and some of it went over there heads (Sodomy...) anyway. And the nudity is practically a non-issue except maybe for rightwingers from Nebraska.
Fantastic!!!
SandiIt was better than the first time. The talent was amazing. It was great entertainment!
Exciting
AbbyI felt like I was at a rock concert! Its was fabulous and I loved the way the actors interacted with the audience. There is no bad seat. I took my parents and all 4 of us loved it. The only warning maybe it is not for those under 18-a little sexually explicit but overall FANTASTIC!!!
HAIR thru and thru
robert mendelLoved it (in the rain! - we sang until they came out!) in the park. Loved it 2x on B-way! Love dancing in front of the band!
Even Better The Second Time
SteveI saw Hair last month and went back to see it again today. It was great the first time and even better the second time. I will see it a third time! The cast is terrific and the music is wonderful. Once again I had tears in my eyes as the show brought back so many memories and feelings, especially at the end. Fortunately for me, I failed my draft physical by knowing exactly what to say and when to say it so my life force lived on. Why do they want to take away something so beautiful???
fabulous
DebbieMy husband and our 2 sons saw Hair, and my 22 year old son said it was the highlight of the whole New York trip. We were so impressed with the talented cast - what voices!!! It was an incredible production and we hope to see it again on our next visit.
Hair
AshleyI thought it was amazing. The performance was awesome, the music was great, and the actors really interacted with the audience by coming up the aisles and getting everyone into it. I actually got to dance with one of the actors, so that was pretty cool! Definitely an excellent show; I loved it!
Hair
SandiEven better than 40 years ago when I saw it for the first time. Give me a head with hair!
UNFORGETTABLE!!!
MARINAI saw the movie in 1979 and I was totally hooked!! Seeing the Broadway production was absolute bloss. The show was so much more than I expected it to be. I had a chance to dance on stage and my adrenaline was sky high!!! I highly recommend this wonderful show!!!
Hair
Vanda HighWow, I am still dancing and singing. The cast is incredible, the staging is amazing and the power of the music is so strong. I loved the ending and will be remembering that moment for a very long time - everyone has to go!!
Relevant in 2009--brought tears!
Jerri WilliamsThe fashions may have changed, but the message is still relevant in 2009! The vocals, acting, band, and effects were all superior. The passion of the cast AND the audience brought tears at the end. My daughter (19) and I danced and sang our hearts out during the finale. To the cast: Blessings to you for your talent, hard work, and bringing the joy and the meaning of HAIR to life!
a total WOW...go see HAIR
PattyHAIR is definitely one of the best shows on Broadway. My best girlfriend and I went and we were dancing and having an amazing time. I would go again.
A theatrical event!
Lawrence YagodaGo see it - a rare theatrical event,an experience!!! Drive, energy, tight and as relevant today as ever!!! What a show- creative,different, a classic!!
This is the play everyone should see
maryann arbiaThis is the best play I have ever seen.The music is great, the story line is wonderful. This play holds your attention all the way. The singing is unbelievable and the cast is just great. It doesn't get better than this. Worth every dime.
Fabulous!
Mary Ann RobinsonExcellent, energetic, inspiring, and fun! I loved the energy! The arrangements keep the songs fresh and new. Such a talented cast and musicians! Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Full of Energy!
ScottI was at the April 26th matinee show and was overwhelmed by the performance and the energy in the theatre! The cast is amazing and Will and Gavin deserve their Tony nominations and awards (I hope!). Will be back to see the "tribe" again soon!
hair
kenI saw the original when I myself was involved in the hippie movement. I felt this would show my grown daughter how we were back then. She enjoyed it as much as I did and it made me feel like I was 18 again. It is as great today as back in the good days. The cast did and OUTSTANDING job of taking us all back and their talent is unbeatable. BRAVO to all of the Tribe, we still have the power of LOVE to succeed in the world.
JOY!
LindaI applaud the actors exuberance. Totally enjoyed this play; acting and music outstanding..
Excellent Production
AleciaI saw the original Hair on Broadway, when I was in high school. I know every word to this score and sang along (quietly, I hope). The audience was loving it and was excited before the show even began. Will Swenson, who plays Berger, is an absolute standout. Loved it!
Sensational!!
Ron, Jane, and PattiIncredible show!! What a talented cast!! A superb evening of theater!!
Let the Sun Shine
CasperWhat a great show! I saw the original when I was a young teenager and it was so powerful that I remembered it for all these years. I knew all the words to the songs from the original show and enjoyed singing along (in my head.) The cast of this show was fabulous, as was the choreography. I loved seeing the cast members run through the audience, it made you really feel like you were part of the show. I highly recommend this show.
WOW! I want more!!
PeterWhat a fabulos experience! Fun, emotional, exciting, and over the top performances. this show must have meant so much when it came out. It means so much today. I cried. Love everything about the show. BRAVO!!
Hair is all grown up
John PiersonHAIR has grown up. In 1968 I brought my parents to NYC to see HAIR, two months into its first transition to Broadway. I was 14 years old! It was a life changing experience for me then and 40 years later, still a life changing experience. I have grown up with the music and magic that is HAIR. The premise and being have never left me. I became a youth again over last summer in the Park and joy abounded with this wonderful and fresh cast. Being able to sit among the incredibly gifted Mr. Rado and Mr. McDermott and discuss my fond attachment to their show was icing. May the new found friends to Hair let the sunshine in on this brilliant revival from Diane Paulus until the year 3500. Peace
HAIR! Beautiful HAIR!
Irene and Richard from Santa MonicaHair puts a smile on your face, the actors are engaging and wonderful, the songs make you sing along, happy and dancing in your seat, the music is perfect, great memories of our past lives, tremendous,amazing, a must see.....WE LOVE HAIR, Rock on!!!!
Phenomenal
Marsha FlashburgFantastic play. The entertainers were incredibly energetic. There was not one performer that was not phenomenal. We rode home talking about how great it was. I would recommend it to everyone
LOVED IT
ANITAI saw HAIR twice in the park and last week on Broadway. I was worried about how it would translate to the theater, but it was totally amazing. I cannot stop listening to the music, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!
Hair
msggieI loved the fact that the cast members interacted with the audience! It was great to hear those songs again..done in contemporary style. The thrill of getting onstage at the end to join the celebration was the icing on the cake!
Magical Feelings Awakened
SteveI saw Hair on Saturday and it was wonderful. I knew it was going to be good but I had no idea it would be so great. As a former so called hippie who lived through those turbulent times, I found my eyes filling with tears more than once during the show as many of those magical feelings came rushing back after all this time. What a terrific experience! It's now two days later and the awakened feelings are still with me. In fact, I just ordered tickets to see it again. Thank you for bringing this show back and thank you to the cast for inspiring me to feel these feelings again after all this time.
Nostalgic
Myrta RiveraBrought me back to my youth. Saw the original while in college and still remembered the words of every song. The production was great and I highly recommend it. I also cried thinking of my friends who died in the Vietnam war. It touched me.
KEEPING SINGING
JoyI was lucky enough to sit next to the Original Claude from "67". He was so cute singing along with most of the songs. I enjoyed the band. The singing was really good too. My favorite solo was "Easy to Be Hard." She ripped. Much success and good luck to all the cast. Most likely I return just to support.
It Brought Back Magical Feelings
Steve JasonI just got back from seeing Hair in the city. It certainly brought back a lot of memories and even a tear to my eyes. As a former hippie, I lived through those times and it touched my heart to remember those magical feelings. I even got to dance onstage with the cast during the encore
Truly incredible
Dan BrodenI have seen MANY shows in my lifetime, and I can easily say Hair is one of the greatest, most electrifiying, inspirational, moving, and just downright awesome shows I have ever seen. When they talk about a "Broadway Experience," this is what they mean.
A Spiritual Experience
Scott DunlapI drank the Kool-Aid! I love the tribe!
Energy
E. MingioneI felt like my generation passed the torch to a new generation. Lots of good looking middle aged folks singing along and waving their hands wondering where the time went. God, that was us once!
Phenomenal
JodiEverything about this show was amazing, from the costumes and make-up to the cast and the band. But the real stand out for me was Sasha Allen (Dionne). I wish I could take her home with me so I would never be without that incredible voice!
Fresh perspective makes for a great "Hair" day
leo buencaminoI saw Hair several decades ago and then a great thing happened: I saw it again last week! Seeing Hair at 60 made me appreciate what the youth of the period were going through in their search for self. "Hair" portrayed the young painfully accurately, in their agonizing journey through a tortuous route that left them almost always wanting, confused and lost. The dialogue, dance routine and music collided to produce a cacophony of sound that were a reflection of the bewilderment and confusion that ruled the minds of youth at the time. I feel like seeing HAIR again, if only to relive that which we all went through then and to appreciate the fact that we have figured it all now now. Special mention to Nadia (Musical Director). I had one eye on her all evening as I thoroughly enjoyed seeing her sway and sashay to the music that she so artfully conducted while playing the keyboard. Her star is born.
Down the rabbit hole and straight into my heart.
GenWhat an absolutely beautiful show. Usually when i get really excited about something for a long time before i see it, it becomes a sort of let down when i finally do get to see it, but Hair was quite the exception. You made me laugh, dance, and at the end, cry. There was a breathtaking sense of comaraderie and i just wanted to hug the whole cast! Lovely work and i look foward to seeing it again!
Fabulous
KarenLuv, luv, luved it!!! Hippies do still exist! Cast involved the audience throughout the show.... Great cast, Great music, Great Love
I COULD GO EVERYDAY!!!
PatMy husband and I absolutely loved everything about it. If I lived in New York I would go broke but it would be worth it. Fantastic job
Whaou !!! Soon in Paris ???
ClaudeThe best show I have never seen (including Rock concert...) The standing ovation (more than 15 minutes) at the end is the best confirmation : very good cast, music and light. The best first Broadway experience for this French family!
Hair-rasin
Freyda MarkowThe way a broadway musical should be done. Fabulous cast, a must-see for Peace Love and Hope
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Bernard GrossWhat a fantastic production in every way... great energy from the cast, wonderful music from the orchestra, and the message is as timely today as it was back in 1968. Thanks for a wonderful performance.
Fabulous!
P PhillipsWe saw the original Hair in New York in 1970, and loved it then. This latest production is terrific, and we had a great time. The HIGH energy, revisiting our youth and the issues of the times all make this a great experience for those in our generation. Having the cast come out into the audience helped to keep the audience entertained and a part of the performance. It was a great evening. Great re-interpretation!
AMAZING
SandyI brought my 16 year old daughter and her friend. They loved it almost as much as me and my friend! It transcends the ages. The energy in the cast is incredible and contagious!
HAIR
linny millerHAIR was Earth moving for me. The entire cast, the totally right look of the tribe, the joyfullness and sadness. I sang out with love and cried all at once.
Fabulous!
MarcyIt brought back so many memories. I saw the original when I was in high school and loved it then. It was a lot of fun and recommend it to all.
Vibrant and Haunting
WillSee this production. It will fill your heart with joy and will linger in ways that will make you think about the world you live in. Simply AMAZING!!!!!!!
breathless
kathieit was one of the best broadway shows I have ever seen and I go often. A happy upbeat and perfect show. thanks for the memories.
Timeless is a word
Gary Rossthat I never thought I would use for such a "period" piece. Whatever the generation was -hippies, flower children, whatever- their ideas could, and should, be considered in decision making by people and nations.
Loved it!!
shaAwesome! great choreography, costumes, singing, out in the audience, and of course, the music
Hair on Broadway
Frank J.What a joy! A truly great show, the cast was terrific funny, entertaining, moving, full of energy. This show will no doubt lift your spirits and renew your outlook. Thank you for a job well done.
HAIR - THE REVIVAL
Eric ManorMust see - we just saw the show. Revived memories, enjoyed the production tremendously!!! The updated musical arrangement and performance are just great!!! A must see for musical lovers!!!

Beverley CostelloThe show was fantastic! Full of energy and fun. I am not a big lover of musicals, but Hair completely won me over - it was amazing!
Beyond Words!
MelThe most amazing theatrical experience I have ever witnessed!
Peace?
TierneyFirst saw it in London forty years ago...and it had quite an impact...peace, love, happiness...and we are still searching!
Very Well Done
RodWe enjoyed every aspect of the show: message, music, energy, and no barriers between the actors and the audience. A real winner!
Simply, amazing.
LizHAIR was a spiritual theater experience for me. Never have I felt so moved by musical theater. The production was emotionally captivating in a very profound way, and undoubtedly resonates with contemporary audiences and contemporary issues. The cast, band, and music were phenomenal. HAIR made me think, laugh, cry, and celebrate. I will definitely be back.
Thanks for the memories....
lizThe music, songs, retro attire, dance, humor, the diversity in actors and the memories were ALL fabulous. All ages enjoyed HAIR whether to relive their lives or share this special time in history with their next of kin. NOT TO BE MISSED.
Loved It
MaureenHair has been my favorite movie forever. The play was even better. There was so much energy in the theater. Cast was incredible!! Would see it again and again
Great Energy
Patricia Peterson ReichFabulous voices, fun and very entertaining. Kudos to the entire cast. My daughter and I both loved this show.
Fabulous!
YonaSaw it 40 years ago from the front row. Still fabulous..particularly if you remember the times!
Made me feel young again
Jaime RaiaI saw Hair 41 year ago. I was 13 years old.
Thank you!
Edwina RohrbachThank you for a wonderful evening. Brought me back to grad school days at Columbia. Show was great, issues the same, different war, amazing how what was so rebellious then is an accepted part of life now. Loved the cast in the aisles and going on stage at the end ROCKED!!!!
audience
debbieThis show was fantastic and rocked! I loved the historic relevance to today as well as the beautiful music. Worthwhile
Wow
Bryan NoonanThis is such a moving show!! At times I cried, at times I laughed, but most of all it was just one big ball of fun. Unlike more recent message musical, RENT, and Spring Awakening, Hair is different. It does not stress the dark world, but more the ways one trys to change it for the better. The cast was amazing!! I would love to see it again.
Bridge the Generation Gap
LoriBroadway at its best! A fantastic, high energy performance with a multi-talented ensemble. Share the experience with someone you love.
incredible
jjI saw Hair 2 times in 1968. I was a hippie war protester and lived on 6th between Ave A and B.
JOYOUS!
MelanieWithout a doubt the most awesome night in theatre. Bravo Rado and Ragni. I will see it again and again!!
Completely Phenomenal!
ColleenHair was so fantastic! I loved how the cast was so interactive with the audience. Every single actor and actress on that stage had an immense amount of talent and singing ability. They were so passionate and made my experience at Hair one of my favorite Broadway experiences ever. I am definitely seeing it again (preferably front row center).
HAIR ROCKS!
ray blockHair rocks- the interaction of the cast at every level of performance was outstanding. Being in the audience felt like an extension of being there!
Peace
KatiedThis is the best show I have ever seen. The tribe was so uninhibited and full of life. I loved how they came into the audience and shared the experience. I was up dancing and singing at the end! MUST SEE! I am sharing with all my friends.
LoVe
Emma G.Best show on Broadway. Amazing direction, fabulous cast, wonderful interaction.
Wow!
KevinThis show is unbelievable! If you have a chance, get to the city and see this show now! The energy on stage is amazing, the singing is amazing, the band is amazing, the Tribe is amazing. Gavin Creel should win a Tony for his performance as Claude! I want to see it again!
AMAZING!
LauraThis was not just a Broadway show, it was an interactive experience between actor and audience. This was the BEST show I have ever been too.
Outstanding
ClorindaWow, what a way to bring back emotions of the past. It took me right back to draft cards and bra burning. A great production. Kodos to the entire cast, you were great.
Hair
MichaelI saw the original cast when I was a flower child. This cast has happily brought me back to that wonderful time. I loved it! PEACE
HAIR rocked
pattiLoved it. Very uplifting. Inviting the audience on the stage made everyone dance!

VickiBrought back memories for us "baby boomers." What an incredible revival! It was so much fun and at the same time sad to remember the turbulent times we lived in during the Vietnam war. We still hope for peace and love. Will it come in our lifetimes?
Simply Amazing
Norma JeanI saw the production last summer and loved it and then came this production, absolutely breathtaking. The entire cast is outstanding - Congratulations to all of you.

DianaLoved it. Vocals were right on! Audience participation was great. Would not recommend for teens under 16 (more appropriate for 11th and 12th graders).

LindseyAt the age of 15, i have seen twice the number of plays on broadway as my age. I can honestly say that this was one of my favorite. Oustanding cast, music, costumes...EVERYTHING
Amazing, Fantastic!!!!!!
LauraI saw the show two times and I knew the reviews were going to be terrific. I am seeing the show again in May and as many other times as I can. The energy, the acting, the singing, everything was fantastic. Yip Yip Yip to all. Let The Sunshine In.

NadineThis was the BEST play I have ever seen...and I have seen around 45 - 50 plays. After the show I actually tried to buy more tickets for that night...something I have never done after a show. I will recommend to ALL of my friends and family. It was just as good as the original. 5 stars and then some!

SamanthaThe best theater experience I have ever had! Everything about this production is fabulous. The cast was so energetic and brilliant. Not a weak link. I really enjoyed the cast interaction. Going back for my third time this month. GO SEE HAIR NOW!!!!

RussThis show is awesome. The music, the story, the love, the pain. But what is the most awesome is how we get drawn into the tribe. The cast does a fantastic job of making you feel what they feel. It was so much fun. LOVE.
Moving!!!
DaynaI have seen the show twice already, and plan on coming back several more times. What a moving, uplifting, heartbreaking, heartwarming, beautiful, fun experience!!! This cast and this show have GOT LIFE!!!
We loved it!
DinoI saw this show in 1968 and this current performance brought back wonderful memories. Wonderful music, great songs, great singing, great orchestra. Energetic and talented cast from start to finish. And still timely.
Usually Front Row Seats Suck
AliThat is totally not the case here! The stage is literally like two feet in front of you, the view is FANTASTIC, and the cast runs up and down the little aisle in front of you and interacts with you. This show is so freaking phenominal. You can just feel the love coming off of that stage! Go see it! NOW!
The Sun Shines on YOU
LiseYou ALL put on an amazing performance with energy and passion. I saw the original production and not only did you do it justice, but I think you may have surpassed it! P.S. my family loved it too.
Want to go again!
DIaneLoved this show. Most fun I have ever had on Broadway. Got to dance on stage with Sheila. Berger....really hot.
An Amazing Experience
MindyThe show was incredible! The cast, the band, the set, the costumes! I especially enjoyed how interactive it was with the audience! My mother took me to see the show when I was 11... back in 1971.... Today I took my 11 year old daughter! She loved it! Of course the highlight was dancing on the stage at the end!

Mary EllenJust saw the revival of Hair! It was sassy, brassy, raunchy.
outstanding
raquelHair was the best play I have ever seen. The cast is so amazing and so dedicated, you can see it as they all perform. I highly recommend this adventure for anyone to see. Loved it.

cynthiaI saw the original production of Hair on Broadway. As soon as I saw that it was back on Broadway I bought my ticket. It was GREAT, the music, acting, audience participation and most of all the memories. Good Job!
Hair
DoreenThe play was wonderful! I saw the orginal and had forgotten a lot of it. We all loved it. A great afternoon ! The singing was great. I found myself remembering all the songs from my past. A must see for us old hippies.
Passion and Love
TerriHair is everything I expected and more. Peace, love, anti-war. Brought me back to my childhood memories. Excellent show and cast. Let the sun shine!
Fabulous
stacie koskoBest show on Broadway. Every performance was outstanding -- worth every dollar. The cast is sensational, the band was incredible. LOVED IT!
Worth every Penny!
HollieI had never seen Hair before but I absolutely loved it! Everything was perfect - the lights, costumes, music. I loved how involved the audience was in the show. It was great to have the tribe spreading the love throughout the theater!! Well done...excellent, talented cast!
Let the sun shine in.
FrancineI saw the show last night and loved it. I had also seen the show last time it was on Broadway and know all the words to all of the songs. I thought the second act was fabulous and more moving than the first. My only critism is that the audience needs to get more into the "groove". If the audience was more engaged, it would have been more fun. That said, let the sun shine in! Great job.
Hair
BradSaw it in the park last summer, much better in a theater....better sound, lights etc. Really enjoyable. Well done.
LOVE
Leslieloved EVERY minute of it!!!
Simply Amazing.
Melissa HowardI have been a fan of Hair for years and years and years. I first fell in love with the show when I saw a school production of it (it was a really good school production, haha) ever since, I have paid to see it 6 times and finally I got the chance to travel to New York and see it professionally done. How amazing it was. I loved every minute of it. I really hope that Hair-mania takes off so much that it will start touring and then I can go see it several more times. :)
LOVE.
TaylorThe lights, the costumes, the music, the audience participation, the message, the dancing on stage, the tribe, the tribe, the tribe. LOVE.
Beyond Excellent
DonnaThis was an experience, not just a play. When it was over the crowd stood and clapped forever.
Amazing production
SamiThis was hands down one of the most amazing Broadway productions I have ever seen. The cast was incredibly enthusiastic and the audience participation really draws you into the show. I happened to be singled out during the song "Hair" for my long flowing hair. How much fun! Even more exciting was being able to come on stage to dance with the cast at the end. You can tell the cast loves every moment of being on the stage. The costumes are amazing and the lighting is phenomenal as well. I wanted to go back the next night and see it all over again. I feel that this show has definitely not lost its relevance in this day and age.
What a blast
MarjMade us feel like kids again.
Worth the trip!
Bob, Faye, JerryA day in the city is always a good day but this was more..this was an EXPERIENCE! The emotion, the spirit, the music, the cast..it all addded up to a tremendous production that brought back many wonderful memories. Thank you!
MOVED BEYOND WORDS!!
DanThis show is so relevant today - the message is so pure. The show overall is outstanding!! The music is SOOO good, and the raw emotion of the performers brought me to tears! Feel the love - go see Hair!!
I absolutely loved this show
Lynn GubermanI saw this today and went nuts. I cannot believe how talented all these performers are. I got up on stage and danced at the end. It was incredible.
What an experience!
EmilySaw the show twice and want to see it again! Nothing else like it on Broadway. Amazing music, lots of energy, and moving story. A memorable night at the theater for my whole family. My kids downloaded the original soundtrack to their i pods as soon as we got home! If you have one show to see... make sure it is "HAIR".
Fantastic
JanetWhat a terrific experience, the energy from the cast was unbelievable. They truly poured their hearts out.
It was a great time for all!!!
DonnaI was singing and smiling the entire show. I was fortunate to have seen the original cast of HAIR in 1967. So, I had high expectation for this revival cast. I was blown away by the performances!! Every cast member has captured the essence of the 60s. The singing was amazing. The actors were fantastic. I had a wonderful time.
Saw the Show
LauraI saw the show 2 times and will be seeing it for a third time. The show is absolutely fantastic. The singing, acting and the energy of the actors and actresses is superb. The last time I saw it i brought my Service Dog with me. The two House Managers, Stage Manager and one of the actresses were soooooo fantastic to me. They made me feel safe and comfortable. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for making it such a fantastic experience. I must add that I liked this show better than the one I saw in 1969.
PERFECT!!
Kathy MatthewsI had fond memories of seeing the original production of Hair in 1967. Now I have even better memories of the March 6, 2009 performance. It was excellent and the cast/audience interaction made it an unforgettable experience. This is exactly what Broadway needed. Hope the show has a long, long run since I plan to see it again. Thanks for a great night!
Make Love, Not War......
FrancescaRelived some of the best times in my life! Hair is great fun, entertainment and music.....cast is awesome! Recommending the show to friends....
Terrific
DorothyI enjoyed this even more that the 1967 "Hair". The cast was alive and very talented. The musicians were excellent. Never a dull moment. I am thrilled to have seen it and truly loved the actors as they put their hearts and souls into providing me with a wonderful experience. Even got to go on stage at the end and dance with them - a thrill of my lifetime.
WOW!!
MauraI saw the show in NY on opening night of previews and it was magical and left me singing "let the sun shine in" for days following. The cast was committed to every moment and the energy was infectious. I would see this again!
Hair
rochelle kreminsI saw the original Hair 100 yrs ago and loved it. In this revival ..I did enjoy it..it was very very difficult to understand the words of the songs (the words are so important in telling the story of 1967)..maybe the music was too loud..and the tempo of the music seemed much slower than in the original. Mainly..if I was not familiar with the words I would have no idea of what was being said/sung.
London Loves Hair
Kevin ProbertBeing old enough to remember the original production I was truly amazed at seeing how relevant this show still is. On my recent trip from London, Hair was the highlight for me of all the shows I saw and I wish the cast a long and happy run, you were all fantastic, many thanks!
A must see!
DebMichael McDonald nailed the costumes and the cast delivered a truly energizing performance...leave the theatre smiling and singing!
energizing brilliance
LynneSaw the show opening preview night and was captivated. It is even more brillaint and energetic than when I saw it thirty-some years ago. Vocals and the band resonate passion. Choreography is excellent. This is a must see.
Disappointed
RevaI really liked the interaction with the audience. HAIR has some of my favorite songs, and I really thought the cast could have been much better at singing them. The best number was Black Boys/White boys. There were some good moments, but overall it was quite disappointing.
A Tonic for These Times
LorraineWhat a wonderful "high". I am still feeling its powerful effects 3 days later. (Not my best musical, but my best theater experience). A true "be-in"...and so much needed.... the audience enters the theater, strangers only to be swept together by the music and lyrics; the shear energy, passion and talent of the cast; and the timely message of peace, harmony and love. Experiencing this production with my daughter-in-law held its own special bond as we both danced and sang on stage with the cast and other audience members, as though choreographed, our arms swaying the sign of peace in the air in unison with the audience, shouting and crying out "let the sunshine, in.." We became an extension of the play; the merging of two generations; two wars; we became one voice...one heart... I encourage you to get your tickets now and wear your "peace" regalia, if you still have it. And by the way, I found purchasing my tickets online an easy and very user-friendly way to select and purchase tickets. By letting the computer choose the best seats, we landed on 4th row aisle.
get tickets NOW!
ivyGet tickets now before the show is formally open. I guarantee they will sell out FAST! Amazing show.
Amazing Show
Kim SobelI saw this show on Saturday and recommend it to anyone. I would recommend you go see it at least once. Amazing Cast.
I give it a rave
Cary iskowitzThis show is a blast of energy from start to finish. The cast is absolutely fantastic.I told everyone I know to go see this show.
One of the Best Shows
PeterGreat show. I would see it again, I recommend this show for all adults to experience.
Hair
ElizabethAbsolutely entertaining!!!! Could not have picked a better and more talented cast. Definitely will see this again and again.

lindaabsolutely loved it!! am going again, and bringing 5 good friends to see it with me!! wonderful
"Give me a show with Hair..."
redadonis"Aquarius" kicked off the production by putting a big smile on my face, and I left the theater with the same big smile after hearing "Let the Sunshine In". The production reminded me how much I loved those years.
Amazing Show!!!
SamThe best theater experience I have ever had. This was my first production of HAIR, and I am so glad that this was my first cast. They were amazing!!! I enjoyed the show from beginning to end. Great cast interaction as well. Run to get your tickets now!!! Thanks for a great night!!
Totally addicted!
JillI have seen the show twice now and going two more times within the next two weeks!! The show is amazing and the cast is outstanding. Couldn't ask for a better show right now! GO get tickets now before you can't because this show will be sold out!!! LoVe, LoVe,LoVe
PEACE. LOVE. PERFECTION!!!
Erich DiCenzoI saw "Hair" the opening (preview) night performance. It was my 3rd time seeing this AMAZING show, having been fortunate to see it twice while it was in the park this past summer! The show is INCREDIBLE and I urge anyone reading this to go and buy tickets now. It will fill your heart with what all of our hearts need...peace and love!!!!!! Congratulations to the entire cast and crew!
Best Time EVAR!
Joseph SeminaraI won the 1st lottery at the First preview. Even though I had a ticket, I gave them away to SPREAD THE LOVE, had a banging time. Got to meet the great cast, got to dance with the cast on-stage!! Very energetic, very theatrical, very HARDCORE!
An Exuberant Experience!
Leo RezendeHair is the BEST musical on Broadway right now. And probably one of the Best on Broadway ever. We left the theater happy, singing and full of energy. A truly talented cast and an uplifting production. It has a very intelligent and surprising - and moving - ending. It brought tears to my eyes. Go, go, go go... see it as soon as you can.
saw in preview
TomThis is a great production!
Forty years later and still fresh
Parson StoneAlthough Hair is not my favorite musical, this is definitely the best production I have seen on or off Broadway. Not for great set design (the set is about as minimal as they come) or brilliant choreography (no awe-inspiring tap numbers here), but for the raw passion and legitimate excitement that the cast brings to the stage. This revival is a breath of fresh air in a market packed with big-budget, big-spectacle productions. Bryce Ryness as Woof, Sasha Allen as Dionne, and Will Swenson as Berger were especially strong in a cast with no weak links.

A Frizzy, Fizzy Welcome to the Untamed ’60s
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Ben Brantley, The New York Times
You’ll be happy to hear that the kids are all right. Quite a bit more than all right. Having moved indoors to Broadway from the Delacorte Theater in Central Park — where last summer they lighted up the night skies, howled at the moon and had ticket seekers lining up at dawn — the young cast members of Diane Paulus’s thrilling revival of “Hair” show no signs of becoming domesticated.
AN AMAZING 'HAIR' DAY
Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
I have zero nostalgia for the 1960s, but I love this "Hair." Everything aligned perfectly when Diane Paulus resurrected the 1967 epoch- making show in Central Park last summer. Not only did the production throb with life, but having it play under the stars, for free, elevated it to a near-mythical level. Even the audience participation came across like an expression of community rather than cheeseball pandering.
Hippies of ‘Hair’ Still Explode With Great Music
Jeremy Gerard, Bloomberg
Jeremy Gerard, Bloomberg
There was nothing like "Hair" when it opened on Broadway in April 1968, and there’s nothing like the revival that opened last night at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. "Hair" was then and is now the most exciting new show in town, not so much a breath of spring air as a jolt of adrenaline.
New 'Hair' revival lets it all hang out
Elysa Gardner, USA Today
Elysa Gardner, USA Today
The new Public Theater revival ( * * * * out of four), which opened Tuesday at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, not only avoids potential obstacles but finds a resonance in Hair beyond any parallels between the turbulent '60s and our own troubled times. What director Diane Paulus and her flawless cast have achieved is a testament to the indomitability and transience of youth, with all the blissful exuberance and aching poignance that entails.
Theater Review of Hair

Ever dream of being a dancer on Broadway? Your day has finally arrived. Seriously. In the finale of Broadway’s exuberant revival of “Hair,” the audience is invited to dance with the entire cast onstage. It is a communal celebratory conclusion to a theatrical experience you will not soon forget.
Joyous revival of 'Hair' arrives on Broadway with exuberance intact
Michael Kuchwara, The Associated Press
Michael Kuchwara, The Associated Press
"Hair," the legendary 1960s American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, has made the jump from a summer Central Park engagement to Broadway with all its exuberance intact - and more.
If you want to know why this joyous revival, which opened Tuesday at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, is so successful, you need not look any farther than the show's first-act finale. No, not its brief display of nudity, but what is happening around it.
