Set in an East Village park in 1967, Hair is the musical story of a group of hippies who celebrate peace and love in the shadow of the Vietnam War. The loose plotline centers on Berger, the charismatic leader of the “tribe,” and Claude, a sweet-natured guy from Queens who’s about to be drafted. Other memorable characters include Berger’s war protester girlfriend Sheila, lovable flower child Crissy, Mick Jagger fan Woof, Hud, a member of the Black Flower Power movement and a band of other flower children known as The Tribe, who play multiple roles. The real star of Hair though is the rocking score, which includes such classic hits as “Let the Sun Shine In,” “Aquarius” and “Good Morning Starshine.”
In the Hickory production, Berger is played by Matthew Thomas-Reid, Corey Robert Knighton is Claude and Charlotte Dick is Sheila. Heather Osterer plays Chrissy, Taylor Edwards is Woof, Kayla Simone Ferguson is Dionne and Donovan Harper is Hud and Sydra Yarnell is Jeanie. The members of The Tribe are Mason Burr, Sierra Doyle-Rios, Amanda Foster, Sheena Forbes, Hunter Hogg, Toré Ledford, Sal Loza, Ella May, Miriam Mckee, Donald Lewis Mills, Jr., Eternity Mitchell, Branden Nuhfer, Hannah Queen, Dior Scott, Kaylee Taraska, and Tatum Terry.
