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 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. The freer and more liberal attitudes of the Hippies to life, drugs, sex and race, and even respect for the Here in Switzerland the 3 pillar pension system differs from other environment, all find expression in the show.

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.

  • Wagner College to Stage Galt Macdermot-Matty Selman Musical 'Goddess Wheel'
    March 29, 2012 Wagner College to Stage Galt MacDermot-Matty Selman Musical ‘Goddess Wheel’ By ADAM HETRICK The Lysistrata-inspired musical “Goddess Wheel,” by Tony Award winner Galt MacDermot and Matty Selman, will receive an April staging at Wagner College. “Goddess Wheel,” according to Wagner, “tells the story of the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens. The women, fed up with the war, decide to withhold sex until the men sign a peace treaty bringing the war to an end.” It has music by MacDermot (“Hair,” “Two Gentleman of Verona”) and book and lyrics by Selman, both of whom are Staten Island natives. The musical was first staged at the American Repertory Theater and the Prince Music Theatre under the title “Lysistrata” in 2002. Cherry Jones starred in the central role. NYU’s CAP 21 program also offered a developmental production of “Goddess Wheel” in 2005. Rusty Curcio will direct the production that has musical direction by James Higgins. The band for “Goddess Wheel” will be MacDermot’s New Pulse Jazz Band. Performances run April 18-29. The cast will include Danielle Dallacco as Lysistrata; Leighann Colin as Penelope/Persephone; Ilana Bolotsky as Young Widow; Tara Kirk and Ashley Burger as Women of Sparta; Caroline LaTorre, Heather Kirschenbauer and Erica Weiderlight as Goddesses; Matt Sydney as the Chancellor; Ryan Cole as the Spartan Envoy/Soldier Ghost; and Andrew Khouri and Matt Favetta as Men of Athens. John Jamiel, head of acting at Wagner, plays Oracle/Hates. Wagner College's athletes are also featured in the production as Spartans. For tickets phone (718) 390-3259.

We will also be looking at the intersection between interculturality and theatre through various geographical movements of performances, usually in the forms of touring shows or international theatre festivals (especially via the examples of Asian Shakespeare productions). As we engage in the performance scripts, music, and the movie versions of these performances, the students will further explore how theatre builds connections within the live, immediate productions of knowledge, desires, images, and gesticulations. The course is open to students of all levels who are interested in musicals and theatre (prior exposure to this genre/topic not necessary). Required Book Purchase: 1.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 4, 2014 MEDIA CONTACT: Mariesa Bus, Marketing Coordinator Phone: 253.573.2507 | Email: [email protected] | Web: BroadwayCenter.org American Tribal Rock Musical HAIR Lets the Sun Shine In this April! Returning to Stage with a Reworked Script by Original Co-Creator James Rado Produced by Starvox Entertainment and Classical Theatre Project in association with Prather Entertainment Group Sponsor: Gray Lumber Company | Media: South Sound Magazine Tacoma, WA –The revolutionary rock musical that sparked a revolution and ignited a generation is back on Broadway stages, and will tour nationally this spring! HAIR comes to the Broadway Center’s Pantages Theater in two shows this April. Let your hair down and “let the sun shine in” with the Broadway National Tour Cast on Saturday, April 26 at 3:00 p.m. and at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now. All the original hits and new songs rediscovered from the original production are all played live by The Tribe, lending the show raw energy and immediacy. This new production returns to its rebellious and provocative roots! Although initially performed in 1967, the universal themes of individuality, experimentation and acceptance in the face of oppression are just as resonant today. When HAIR premiered, the show was controversial for its portrayal of integration and free-love. But it since has gone on to be praised for these very things, and this national tour brings the positive message of love and peace to audiences throughout the country. Updated for 2014 by the original creator Jim Rado, experience HAIR like you have never seen before! HAIR depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the turbulent 60s that changed America forever.
