Peace, love, war, sex and hair -- Sacramento will have a one-night opportunity to revel in hippie counterculture at Harlow's Thursday night. "HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" will rock the nightclub in the form of a concert.

Local theater company Artistic Differences will perform musical numbers from "HAIR" as part of the company's Summer of Rock series, which kicked-off with "Tommy" at the Crest on Memorial Day. Many of the original cast members from the company's five-week run of the show in 2007 will return to sing the numbers, accompanied by a seven-piece band.
 

"HAIR" the musical brings to light a group of young flower children who band together as a "tribe" in the East Village of New York City during the late '60s. The story develops when one of the members of the tribe receives a draft notice and is faced with the decision to serve or rebel.

Drawn into the hippie counterculture movement and inspired by anti-war protests, young actors Gerome Ragni and James Rado wrote "HAIR" over a span of three years and introduced it to the New York stage in 1967.

The concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $15 in advance or for $20 at the door. To purchase tickets call 916-708-3449.

Summer of Rock will continue with a one-night concert featuring numbers from "Bare" on August 13 at Harlow's.

Let's also add that the show produced a wealth of Top 40 hits in the late '60s and early '70s: "Aquarius (Let the Sunshine In)," "Easy to Be Hard," "Good Morning Starshine" and "Hair" itself.

If you are interested in going, get your tickets NOW. This will definitely sell out! Last night I heard that less than 100 tickets are left.
