Hair at The Vaults

Why see Hair?

Happy Birthday

James Rando's iconic counter-culture ode to youth, love, fear and freedom in the 1960s reaches it's 50th anniversary this year and the Vaults are laying on a birthday bash to remember with this new immersive production from Manchester's Hope Mill Theatre. The true spirit of the musical will be captured throughout the venue with hippietastic pop-up restaurants and bars, wandering beat poets, troubadours and special guests welcoming you to what can only be described as a mini Woodstock.

This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

Set in 1967, Hair is the story of a rag tag group of hippy kids known as The Tribe who haunt the East Village of New York City. In the face of growing unrest both at home and abroad, it is a peon to the age, where young people began to speak out for freedom and liberation, protesting the Vietnam War in a flash of song and colour whilst learning more about themselves in a wild and sexually liberated society. With a score including 'Let The Sunshine In', 'Age of Aquarius' and of course, 'Hair' it's a joyous romp with a message of acceptance that resounds today in our post Trump, Brexit world.

nosalgic hippie rollercoaster

Hair's outrageousness has positioned it somewhere between infamy and greatness. And that's before you even mention the tunes.

Abundant energy

I saw this show before in 1968 in London and it was amazing to see it again. They had not changed or spoilt it - it had just the same energy and impact the second time around. Of course the message was now historical rather than present, but the abundant youth and enthusiasm was wonderful to behold. The audience was beaten into submission and the standing ovation showed that the impact was still there. And the average age of the audience was much lower than in my other recent visits to the theatre - this was a real surprise to me, and an indication that this is a new play to most people. Amazing! ... Read more

Let the sunshine

I saw Hair on the press performance and I was so glad I did because it is the best musical to have come to London over the past decade. The cast is quite literally phenomenal, people aren't lying when they say that the cast is incredible. The end is also so cool when every one gets on stage, and you get to talk to the cast (a word of wisdom, Allison Case, the person who plays Crissy is so nice, TALK TO HER!!!!) SEE HAIR. ...
