Hair doesn't actually have much of a plot. There is a group of friends ("The Tribe") who have dropped out of school and are running around New York getting naked, having sex with each other, burning their draft cards, and doing drugs. There is a small plot thread about Claude, who has been drafted, and the conflicts he faces as he prepares to leave for Vietnam.

The show actually had more of a plot Off Broadway. But basically in a nutshell, the story centers around a group of hippies in the East Village. Claude loves Shelia. Shelia loves Berger (Claude's Best friend). Jeannie loves Claude. And Woof loves Claude/Berger/Shelia depending on the day. Claude gets a draft notice, struggles with whether he should actually respond, goes to war and gets killed.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 12:42pmThe film of HAIR was a pretty different animal altogether, but I think they managed to take what little plot there was on Broadway and create a convincing story for film.

Posted: 6/20/05 at 3:22pmI don't find HAIR tasteless nor do I find it boring by any means. Also, RENT has very little in common with HAIR and if anything I would reword it and say that RENT is the 90's version of HAIR.
