www.broadwayworld.com: While National Hair Day might not be celebrating the Broadway show Hair, we're still taking a look back at past performances from the show!
Hair premiered on Broadway at the Biltmore Theatre on April 29 in 1968. It has since been revived four times, with the 2009 revival winning the Tony Award for Best Revival.

I’ve heard of the show Hair. I’m not a huge fan of “musical theatre,” so I don’t know as much as the average theatre kid. But I do know this show exists from my extensive knowledge of Glee. Admittedly, I clicked on this article because I thought it would be about hair and makeup, not the show Hair. Regardless, I watched the videos. They were OK. Like I said, not a huge fan of musical theatre. But I might take a gander and listen to a few songs on spotify. This show is nothing life changing to me though. It looks fun to tech! The show is definitely odd on second thought.
Happy National Hair day! I wonder what else there is to do on this day other than this.
: I really don’t actually know that much about this show, I have listened to the music but I have never seen it or read it. I was excited to see it at our school think year because the students here would have found some really cool things to do with it. And I know we aren’t doing it in person anymore but I am still excited to see what everyone does with it, maybe even more so now because of the remote form. I really liked watching all of the videos in this article, it made me happy to watch some videos of theatrical performances even if it is just videos. Although I did realize that I don’t really love the music from hair, so I don’t really know what I’ll think of the show, but I don’t hate the music so I am sure it can’t be that bad. It was really cool to see the video from 1969 because I never really get to see videos of theatre from that long ago, so it was nice to see what they did and how it was changed to the 2009 cast. It was also interesting to see how long that performance was compared to how short Tony performances are now. On a mostly unrelated note, national days are so weird. I get emails every day about what national day it is and some of them are just so strange. Like national hair day, where did that come from? It is just so bizarre to me, but I guess fun.
