Hair
Norton Herrick is a producer of the critically acclaimed and Tony Award-Winning revival of the hit musical, Hair, for which Mr. Herrick won a 2009 Tony Award.
Just in time to usher in the dawning of a new age in America, The Public Theater’s joyous production of HAIR comes to Broadway. A celebration of life, a love letter to freedom, and a passionate cry for hope and change, HAIR features some of the greatest songs ever written for the stage. Last summer in Central Park, the sensational cast invited thousands onstage to join the party. Now it’s your turn.
Welcome to the curly, shaggy, gleaming, streaming, wonderful world of HAIR.

You'll be happy to hear that the kids are all right. Quite a bit more than all right. Having moved indoors to Broadway from the Delacorte Theater in Central Park — where last summer they lighted up the night skies, howled at the moon and had ticket seekers lining up at dawn — the young cast members of Diane Paulus’s thrilling revival of "Hair" show no signs of becoming domesticated.
AN AMAZING 'HAIR' DAY
-Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
I have zero nostalgia for the 1960s, but I love this "Hair." Everything aligned perfectly when Diane Paulus resurrected the 1967 epoch-making show in Central Park last summer. Not only did the production throb with life, but having it play under the stars, for free, elevated it to a near-mythical level. Even the audience participation came across like an expression of community rather than cheeseball pandering.
