★★★1/2 - "play explores human needs - for understanding, belonging, love." - Steven Oxman, Chicago Sun Times
Recommended - "a smart and empathetic look at conspiracies and paranoia...filled with tension and dark humor..." - Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader
"it's impossible for West not to be funny-every line delivery is a lesson in comic timing." - Mary Wisniewski, NewCity Chicago
Highly Recommended "...a powerful world premiere..a play for the theatergoer who enjoys a drama filled with tension and dark humor." - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theater Review
"succeeds as both a dark comedy and a compassionate examination of human connection." - Emily Werner, Broadway World Chicago
"In its study of the causes, nature and consequences of paranoia, and its intentional ambivalence as to the line between what fears actually are justified and the spiraling of the pressured human mind, the show has a lot in common with Tracy Letts 'Bug'" - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

The American tribal love rock musical HAIR celebrates the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory. To an infectiously energetic rock beat, the show wows audiences with songs like "Aquarius," "Good Morning, Starshine," "Hair," "I Got Life" and "Let The Sunshine In." Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, HAIR remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world.
July 2 - September 13, Chopin Theatre Mainstage
