The Kennedy Center lets the sun shine in on Hair, the 2009 Tony winner for Best Musical Revival, as it kicks off its national tour. A celebration of life, a love letter to freedom, and a passionate cry for hope and change, Hair defined one generation — as the first great rock musical — and Galt MacDermot’s music and Gerome Ragni and James Rado’s book and lyrics continue to inspire today. Diane Paulus directs with choreography by Karole Armitage. Opens Tuesday, Oct. 26. To Nov. 21. Kennedy Center Opera House. Tickets are $25 to $115. Call 202-467-4600 or visit kennedy-center.org.
