Excellent- More about Staging Rebellion in the Musical, Hair: Marginalised Voices in Musical Theatre
This book provides a comprehensive survey of the musical Hair and offers critical analysis that focuses on giving voice to those who are historically considered to be on the margins of musical theatre history. It argues that Hair is a rebellion against the established normative values of American society and the art form of the musical itself and can be considered utopian in its practices and values. It will be of great interest to scholars and students of music, musical theatre, popular music, American studies, film studies, gender studies, or African American studies.

This comprehensive volume delves into the world of the musical Hair, offering a critical analysis that aims to give voice to those who have historically been marginalized within the realm of musical theatre history. Sarah Browne takes us on a journey through key scenes of the musical, seeking to unravel the intricate relationship between performance and the cultural context of the sixties counter-culture. While it is widely recognized that Hair is a product of that era, this study contextualizes the analysis within the socio-historical framework to unveil the profound American values concerning race, gender, and adolescence. By asserting that Hair is a rebellion against the established norms of both American society and the musical form itself, this book proposes ways in which Hair can be perceived as utopian, not only in its textual representation but also in the practices and values it embodies, as well as the emotions it evokes in its audiences.
This book holds immense appeal to scholars and students engaged in the fields of music, musical theatre, popular music, American studies, film studies, gender studies, and African American studies. It provides a valuable contribution to the understanding and appreciation of this iconic musical, shedding light on its historical significance and its ongoing relevance in contemporary society.
