Take a trip back to the hippie counter-culture and sexual revolution of the 1960s with the Tony Award-winning hit revival "HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical."

Directed by Diane Paulus and choreographed by Karole Armitage, "HAIR" follows a group of hopeful, long-haired, free-spirited young hippies living a bohemian life in New York City and fighting against conscription into the Vietnam War. To advocate a lifestyle of pacifism and free love, these young friends must struggle against their conservative parents and a society riddled with intolerance and brutality.

As they explore sexual identity, challenge racism, experiment with drugs and burn draft cards, the show resonates with an irresistible message of hope more than 40 years after it first opened on Broadway.

With a score that includes groundbreaking numbers like "Let the Sun Shine In," "Aquarius," "Hair" and "Good Morning Starshine," "HAIR" depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the '60s and '70s that changed America forever.

"HAIR" will play the Orpheum Theatre March 1-6 as part of Hennepin Theatre Trust's 2010/11 Broadway Across America-Minneapolis season. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit Hennepin Theatre Trust's events page or call 1-800-982-2787.
