CLARKSVILLE, TN – (CLARKSVILLENOW) The Roxy Regional Theatre continues to deliver Broadway hits to the Clarksville community. Opening June 14, HAIR: The American Tribal Love Rock Musical, will delight audiences and possibly provide a sense of nostalgia for some.
This summer, join the tribe of the Age of Aquarius and celebrate the sixties counterculture in all its barefoot, long-haired, bell-bottomed, beaded and fringed glory at the corner of Franklin and First in Historic Downtown Clarksville.
In keeping with the theatre’s traditional pay-what-you-can opening night, all tickets not pre-sold at the regular price will go on sale at 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 14 for a $5 minimum donation. Show begins at 8:00 p.m.
In the first rock musical to hit the Great White Way, a group of hippie youth search for meaning amidst the Civil Rights movement, protests against the Vietnam War, drug experimentation and the sexual revolution. The show is set to the infectiously energetic rock beat of such songs as “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” “I Got Life” and “Let The Sun Shine.”
Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, this groundbreaking 1968 tribal love rock musical remains relevant as ever as it examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world.
HAIR is intended for mature audiences only, as this musical contains adult language, sexual situations, and brief and implied nudity. This production also utilizes pulsating lighting effects.
Performances run June 14 through June 29 on Thursdays at 7:00pm and Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, with a 2:00pm matinee on Saturday, June 22.
Tickets are $25 and may be reserved online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at (931) 645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours. Military, APSU students and CitySaver coupon holders can receive two tickets for the price of one to Thursday performances during the run.
