In yesterday's 'Hair,' glimpse of tomorrow
The show's central amorous triad, earthy Berger (Steel Burkhardt), pure-of-heart Claude (Marshal Kennedy Carolan), and NYU trustafarian Sheila (Sara King), also struggle with these conflicts. They're in Berger's casual cruelty toward Sheila and Claude's ambivalence about the draft. But the other kids have hangups, too, and the enduring strength of Hair is the way it captures the terrors and joys of being young in America.
The production itself occurs in front of a Peter Max-style sunburst-painted backdrop, with a band scattered among the various rickety stairs and platforms that constitute Scott Pask's set. Karole Armitage's organic choreography sends the performers out into the audience to ruffle tresses or hand out flowers, and brings them back onstage, dancing in their granny dresses and dashikis as individuals, then again within a tight, unified cluster.
