"HAIR"--a musical revolution that defined a generation. Seen by over 30 million people in its first 4 years, it became a cultural phenomenon and a worldwide success. It rocked and shocked the world and was the training ground for many of today's biggest stars. "Good HAIR Days," written by original cast member Jonathon Johnson, offers an insider's look into the Broadway musical "HAIR." Johnson is joined by original producer Michael Butler and over 25 original cast members who share their stories. "HAIR" was more than just a show, it was a message of love and peace that survived strong denunciations and controversies that exploded once the show went on the road. Many threats followed, some which were tragically carried out.
Join the "HAIR" tribe as the cast and crew lived it. "Good HAIR Days" covers these events and reintroduces the world to "HAIR's" messages, which are just as valid today as they were in 1968. An honest and accurate view of the production history, "Good HAIR Days" is filled with touching personal stories, original cast lists, and many humorous events that offer a refreshing glimpse into the psychedelic 60's and 70's.
