Southern Theatre (Directions)
Enter the Aquarian Zone of “The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical Hair. ”
As the first and most successful rock musical, the show that first came into public view in October 1967, Hair is a story of a cross section of young people in New York City's east village who banded together as a tribe and tried to change the world. They found their own natural aesthetic and, because they were so hip (yet in a different style from the earlier hipsters and beatniks), a new word was coined to identify them. They came to be called ” hippies."
Building on the success of last fall’s The Rocky Horror Show and celebrating our special partnership with CAPA, The Department of Theatre will once again present a musical in the beautiful historic Southern Theatre in downtown Columbus. “Let the sun shine.” Join us to relive or discover the “Dawning of the Age of Aquarius.”
