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.

Dave K: The sun shines in the age of Aquarius!

Wow! The show was electric, from the first note of Aquarius to the last note of Let the Sunshine in. A remarkable experience. Where else can you join the actors on stage, 'high five' the male leads and hug the female leads? Awesome. ... Read more

Best Musical - A must see

I took my Mum to see this as she saw it the first time round. She enjoyed it this time even more. The cast were fantastic and the audience interaction make it so much fun. It may be 40 years old but the events surrounding this story are current to the events happening today. As someone who has a great love of musicals this is by far the best I have seen. Don't delay see it for yourself. ... Read more

Sensational

I have just seen the first night of Hair in London. It was vibrant, uplifting, empowering, everything you would want from a musical. The cast and band were superb. It was a brilliant evening. I sat next to someone who had missed it the very first time around and he was mesmerised and said he would go again. I also, will be going again - and again whilst the US cast are here, and probably again, and again when he UK cast takes over. This show gets under your skin and deep into your soul. Try it you won't be disappointed. ... Read more
