Written by Gerome Ragni and James Rado with music by Galt MacDermot, the Arizona Theatre Company production of Hair has choreography by Patricia Wilcox and musical direction by Christopher McGovern. "Hair," according to press notes, "tells the story of a tribe of young hippies struggling to express themselves and change the world. When Claude receives his draft notice, their innocence and optimism comes face to face with the realities of war."

The production has a design team that comprises John Ezell (scenic design), Kish Finnegan (costume design), Michael Gilliam (lighting design) and Abe Jacob (sound design).

Phoenix performances take place at the Herberger Theater Center (222 E. Monroe Street); call the box office at (602) 256-6995.
