About
You’ll likely enjoy Hair if you want an energetic 1960s-style anti-war musical with lots of singing and dancing, plus a rebellious atmosphere; Not for you if you prefer a tightly plotted story, or if you’re sensitive to dated portrayals found in Cabaret and Billy Elliot.
Pros: spirited anti-war message; standout musical numbers; colorful performances | Cons: dated, disjointed feel; uneven romance focus; some dislike the tone
