HAIR Book and Lyrics bt Gerome Ragni & James Rado
The American tribal love-rock musical HAIR celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, longhaired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show dazzles 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 person in a changing world trying everyday to “Let the Sunshine In!”

Auditions will consist of singing from the show, a dance call (taught at auditions), and potential cold reads.
Singing selections will be available on the audition event no later than January 18th.
Because of the nature of the show, you may be asked to free-dance (like you could to music in your living room).
If listening to a soundtrack to prepare, please look stylistically at the original Broadway soundtrack as a reference. We are looking for unique rock, pop, and soul-style voices.

Intimacy, Content, and Age Requirements
Due to the age of this show, the characters in this show are on the binary and written with he/him or she/her pronouns. However, as we seek to be as inclusive as possible, we will ask gender non-conforming, gender queer, transgender and non-binary actors to list on the audition form the roles they most identify with. We also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. Additionally, there is NO NUDITY in this version of HAIR. All intimacy, violence, topics of gender or race (including any language that would, by today’s standards be considered slurs) will be discussed and staged at the level of actor comfort. All ages will be considered for this production.
