The Story:

The American tribal love-rock musical HAIR celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show wows audiences with songs like “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” “I Got Life,” and “Let The Sunshine In.” Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, HAIR remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world.

Casting Note:

All actors must be 19+ at the time of audition. Nudity is pivotal to the plot of Hair and its rich stage history. TotoToo wishes to explore this element. Nudity will be based on the comfort level of the actors and discussed with the actor prior to casting. We also ask that actors be comfortable with sexual content and its tasteful presentation on stage.
