The year is 1967 and the Vietnam War is at its height. In New York City, a tribe of hippies rail against the establishment, protesting intolerance, brutality, and the dehumanization of society. This is the story from the famous musical “Hair.” The original production premiered at The Public Theater in 1967 and then moved to Broadway for a run of 1,873 performances. Galt MacDermot, who wrote the music for “Hair,” talks about what it’s been like preparing the 40th anniversary concert performances for Joe’s Pub in the Park.
