The show explored the world of the “Flower Children” of the 1960s, their joy in life and loving, their irreverent attitude towards society, and their resistance to a war overseas in which U.S. participation may have been unnecessary (sound familiar?), and in particular, their resistance to the wartime draft. Bo Crowell directs and choreographs, and Christian Nesmith is musical director. They have previously collaborated on productions of “Hair” both in the U.S. and overseas, including the 30th anniversary production in Hollywood with Candlefish Theatre Company and the Moscow production. Crowell recently directed the MET Theatre workshop presentation of the musical “The Return.” Nesmith is the son of 60s rock star Michael Nesmith (of The Monkees). Butler’s other producing credits include “Lenny,” “Reggae,” and “The Trial of the Catonsville Nine.” Asked about the new production, Butler was enthusiastic about the opportunity to do the work in an intimate venue, which he believes adds to the experience. “I’m absolutely wild to do it in a small space where we have a tremendous stage and very good seating. To see a good piece of theatre in a 99-seater is an extraordinary experience. It’s a win-win situation for the audience and the actors,” he stated, adding that this marks his 31st production of “Hair.” “Hair” features an attractive young cast bedecked in wildly colorful 60s attire (and, in one scene, wearing nothing at all) singing their hearts out. It premiered after several grim years of turmoil in America, with a stubbornly optimistic view of the country’s future. The show is again timely, as people again regularly take to the streets to protest an unpopular war and attacks by establishment figures on fundamental civil liberties. It’s time for “Hair” to grow again.                   WARNING:  THIS PRODUCTION DOES CONTAIN NUDITY
