www.guardianwealthmanagement.com/offices/geneva About the Show As a Broadway show, Hair broke new musical and dramatic ground when it opened in 1968. It has been variously described as a “rock musical” and a “concept musical”, although neither term fully captures the way in which it departed from traditional Broadway musicals. The music in Hair is not only rock ’n roll, there is Let the sun also a strong story line involving the three central characters in what can fairly be described as a love triangle, albeit not a very conventional one. But a departure it most certainly was. It was subtitled as “The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical”. The show is set in the culturally and socially turbulent 1960s in the USA. It is centred on themes which would have found no place in traditional Broadway When yourshine career takes you to another country in financial planning musicals. The main particular theme in the story line is opposition to the Vietnam can be complicated.

The show’s authors Gerome Ragni and James Rado moved among the Hippie community in New York in order to achieve authenticity in depicting aspects of the counter-culture that was welling up at the time.

God and religion are, perhaps rather remarkably, invoked or referred to in a positive context in many of the songs. The music is eclectic and exuberant, including ballads, country-and-western, and troubadour-style melodies, that stand alongside rock numbers that were hits in their day. The lyrics draw on Shakespeare as well as the vernacular of the young. Composer Galt MacDermot made extensive use of rock rhythms and scored the show for an expanded rock band. Lists of words and phrases feature prominently in the songs, functioning like a series of snapshots which, taken together, form a series of composite images of the era.

As a truly modern 17-year-old, most of my time is allocated between watching TV and school. I participate in no sports (not even Pokemon Go) and upon occasion I sing. The one exception to my inherent millennial apathy is my involvement with GAOS. I’ve been doing GAOS shows since 2008 in roles ranging from chorus to director to sound monkey. After directingWest Side Story in 2013, I was adamant not to masochistically force myself into such a stressful position again, but when the chance of immersing myself in the 1960s presented itself, how on earth could I resist?
