‘Hair’ starts previews Monday night in Central Park.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When “Hair” starts previews Monday in\u00a0Central Park<\/a>, it will be a flashback to the 1960s, the decade the rock musical debuted. That era that looks a lot like today: an unpopular war was raging, young people were keyed up about activism, and people let it all hang out \u2014\u00a0Naked Cowboy<\/a>-style \u2014 to express their freedom.<\/p>\n

But in this reincarnation of the seminal show at the\u00a0Delacorte Theater<\/a>, some of the biggest things on parade are the costumes. “Hair” costumer\u00a0Michael McDonald<\/a>\u00a0looked to rock stars \u2014 Donovan,\u00a0Jimi Hendrix<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Janis Joplin<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 for inspiration in putting together the looks for the cast in the groundbreaking musical about youths rebelling against conservative authority and the\u00a0Vietnam<\/a>\u00a0War.<\/p>\n

Director Diane Paulus<\/a>, who also staged the concert version of the show last summer, was a stickler for authenticity, says McDonald: “It’s so easy to make it look like a Halloween party.” No-nos included tie-dyed shirts and elephant bell-bottoms.<\/p>\n

“Too ’70s,” he says.\u00a0 He speaks with authority. McDonald researched the era extensively, studying footage of the ’67\u00a0Monterey Pop Festival<\/a>\u00a0for reference.<\/p>\n
