HAIR!

Following the sold out run of last summer’s Rent, Fighting Chance Productions brings another iconic rock musical to life in a way that only they can – with a stellar cast of enthusiastic, talented and ambitious young performers. Fighting Chance Productions has persistently made a name for itself with productions of Rent, tick…tick… BOOM!, The Laramie Project and The Musical of Musicals: The Musical and Hair will be their 15th show produced in just over 3 years.
Hair promises to be more than just another summer musical, with a talented cast of 24 current and graduated students from theatrical training institutes from across the province including Studio 58, Capilano University, Canadian College of Performing Arts and Vancouver Film School and a tight on-stage rock band this promises to be an epic event of an immortal piece of theatre. Hair is currently playing on both the New York and London stages prompting Time Magazine to declare, “Today Hair seems, if anything, more daring than ever.”

HAIR will be directed and staged by Fighting Chance Artistic Director Ryan Mooney (who also helmed their production of Rent last summer) and Vashti Fairbairn will be the music director. Joining the production team is Brendan Albano (Set Design), Elizabeth Dubney (Costumes) and Cathy Wilmot will take the reigns as Production Manager.
