Hair anniversary production releases new cast recording

The recent revival production of Hair has released a new cast recording.

The 50th anniversary immersive version of the show, which originally ran at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester before transferring to the Vaults in London where it played last autumn, won a WhatsOnStage Award for Best Off-West End Production earlier this year.

In his review of the London transfer, which is directed by Jonathan O'Boyle critic Alun Hood said the musical's tunes "are magnificently rendered here by a terrific young cast and fine rock band".

With a book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot, Hair is set in the East Village of New York in 1967 and tells the story of a tribe of young people yearning to change the world under the shadow of the Vietnam War. It features the songs "Aquarius", "Let the Sun Shine In" and "Good Morning Star Shine".

The new London cast recording is available via iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music and Google Play now.
