Grateful Dead and Phish fans, rejoice. The hippie style is finally back.

“Hair,” the rock musical from the ’60s, has been reprised and re-packaged for a new generation to enjoy.

“It’s nice to see history come back with a fresh look,” said Russ Lipari, brother of “Hair” music director Peter Lipari.

Set in the ’60s, a group of pro-peace, free-loving radicals voyage through self-discovery in the psychedelic era.

Issues of the Vietnam War seem paramount as Claude (David Morrison) struggles over burning his draft card.

On another note, the set design left something to be desired. A series of rafters made the stage look like it was under construction. The orchestra pit actually was above the stage in the rafters. Upon further scrutiny, it seemed obvious nothing was being hidden. The show was completely out in the open, as were some actors.

Yes, there was nudity. Yes, it was awesome. Yes, there was some man-tookus as well.

The only problem with the nudity is the uncomfortable vibe that washes over the audience. Everyone stayed still and refrained from the standard hooting and hollering.

-Despite the uncomfortable moment, the audience received “Hair” with open arms.

“I thought it was excellent,” said Ann Conway. Conway and her friend, Lipari, were among the middle-aged demographic attending the show. Because they lived through the actual life and times of the ’60s, I asked if the show did the era justice.

Russ blurted out, “Without a doubt!”

Energy, not nudity, is what made this play so entertaining. DeKalb resident Ron Steinacher’s favorite part was the fact it had “lots of energy.”

It’s sad they had to market the play as one with nudity in order to fill seats. Go for the music, go for the fun, go for the historical significance; stay for the nudity.
