The Dawning: The World of Hair
In his review for the Wall Street Journal, John J. O’Connor wrote, “No matter the reaction to the content…I suspect the form will be important to the history of the American musical.” And it was! In this first session, join director Matthew Gardiner and his design team as they discuss the impact of Hair and how they plan to present the musical in a way that is as challenging and innovative as the original 1967 production.

I Got Life: The Music
Music Director William Shuler and members of the cast talk about this musical’s legendary score, a score that gave the world songs like “Aquarius,” “Frank Mills” and “Let the Sunshine In.” Expect a private concert as members of the cast perform selections from the show.

Where Do I Go: Tech Rehearsal
The actors have learned their lines, the carpenters have built the set, the electricians have focused the lights and the stitchers have sewn the costumes – take a peek as all the elements come together in a technical rehearsal.

Let the Sunshine In: Wandelprobe or Sitzprobe
The cast meets the musicians for the first time to make some noise! Throughout the entire rehearsal process the actors and the musicians rehearse separately. After the technical elements are incorporated, the orchestra takes their place onstage and the musical comes to life.

How Dare They Try: Final Dress Rehearsal
You’ve met the cast and team, you’ve observed rehearsal, you’ve heard the music. Now, join the company as their first audience at the “invited dress rehearsal.” See how the artistic process wraps up when the final element is added – you!
