Flashback: "Hair" - about a gaggle of young folks who are all about pacificism and free love in Vietnam War-era America - plays the Garde Arts Center on Sunday.

Revival: The musical premiered four decades ago and was treated to a Tony-winning revival in 2009.

Sing along: The score rocks with "Let the Sun Shine In," "Aquarius," "Hair" and "Good Morning Starshine." ("Hair's" book and lyrics are by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, and music is by Galt MacDermot.)

Dance along: During the finale, theatergoers can scamper onstage to dance with the actors.
