“A sparkling, humorous and furious version of the 1967 ‘tribal love-rock musical’ that celebrates the 1960s counterculture...”

7/22/26 - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune - 2.5 Stars
“Stacked with talented young singers.. intense, committed new staging of the iconic 1968 musical ‘Hair’ is not so much an exploration of the Age of Aquarius as a manifestation of an age of anxiety”

Inspired by the painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat, Sunday in the Park with George, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's stunning masterpiece, merges past and present into beautiful, poignant truths about life, love and the creation of art. One of the most acclaimed musicals of our time, this moving study of the enigmatic painter, Georges Seurat, won a Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for an astounding ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical.
