Gimme Lots of "Hair!"

   Hitting the stage this week in Huntington is the beloved Broadway musical Hair, the latest presentation from the Marshall Artists Series.

   It's a great throwback to the '60s, with terrific songs!

   My pal Dave Lavender turned in an excellent story about the show, which you can read right here.

   Here's an excerpt:  

   If you run into 26-year-old California native Brian Scott on the street you might be surprised by a twentysomething jivetalking like its 1968. 

   "Yeah, I do use the word 'bummer' and I say I 'dig it,' a lot too, lot more than I used to," Scott said with a laugh. 

   Talking like one far out hippie cool cat, well, that's just one of the funny occupational hazards of playing a hippie just about every night of the week as the national tour of the epic 1960s rock musical Hair as it winds its way across the U.S., Canada and Japan. 

   Come 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 7, you can stroll downtown for some of that free love and good vibes yourself as the historic Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center hosts the 2009 Tony Award-Winning Broadway Revival of the Hair. 

   Tickets to the Marshall Artists Series event are $58, $50 and $45. Tickets can be purchased by visiting the Joan C. Edwards box office, calling 304-696-6656, or online at ticketmaster.com.
