"Hair," the American tribal love-rock musical, was resurrected on Sofia stage by Bulgarian performers - Sofia theatre and Arabest ballet.
The Bulgarian show saw its premiere in May after William Morris Agency granted a license for fifty performances within a year.
Marian Bachev, Stanislav Dimitrov, Rossen Belov, Anna Yoneva and country star Kotseto Kalki, among others, revived Saturday night on Sofia stage the times of intense conflicts, drugs, free love, Utopian philosophies and communes.
"Hair" opened Oct. 29, 1967, at Joseph Papp's New York Shakespeare Festival Public Theater. Then it moved to Broadway on April 29, 1968, at the Biltmore Theater and ran for 1,750 performances. "Hair" was the fourth longest running musical of the 1960s.
