Berklee’s Musical Theater Ensemble and Musical Theater Orchestra present a fully staged production of the Broadway musical Hair on April 25 and 26. Inspired by the peace movement and the social revolution of the 1960s, Hair's songs, including “Aquarius,” “Easy to be Heard,” and “Let the Sunshine In,” became anthems of the anti-Vietnam war movement and opened Broadway theater to rock music.

Hair: An American Tribal Love-Rock Musical takes place Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26, 7:30 p.m., at the Berklee Performance Center (BPC), 136 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston. The production is part of the Signature Music Series at Berklee. Reserved seating tickets are on sale now for $8 and $16 in advance, $12 and $20 day of show at berklee.edu/bpc.

Students leading the 22 cast and 11 orchestra members include Carla Martinez, choreographer and president of the Musical Theater Club—the largest club at Berklee with 500 members; Kelton Washington, assistant director; and Cam Moncur, vocal music director; all of whom worked on Berklee’s sold-out production of Rent, among other musicals.
