Hair tells the story of the “tribe”, a group of politically active people, living life in New York City and fighting against the social/political system. Claude, his good friend Berger, their roommate Sheila and their friends struggle to balance their young lives, loves, and the sexual revolution with their rebellion against their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude must decide whether to fight the system, or to succumb to the pressures of his parents (and conservative America).
