What looks like incredible chaos is actually organized chaos.  Phenomenal musical numbers include AQUARIUS, GOOD MORNING STARSHINE, I BELIEVE IN LOVE, HAIR, I GOT LIFE and WHAT A PIECE OF WORK IS MAN. This show has a vitality, a timelessness and a meaning that outlives the late 1960's and early 1970's in America. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical.
