Before Hamilton, Rent, and Jesus Christ Superstar, there was HAIR.
Heritage Auctions is proud to present a remarkable collection of material directly from the family of Galt MacDermot, the visionary composer whose groundbreaking score helped transform HAIR into one of the most influential musicals in Broadway history.
Premiering in 1967 and moving to Broadway in 1968, HAIR became a cultural phenomenon, capturing the spirit of the counterculture era with its bold exploration of the anti-war movement, interracial relationships, sexuality, and personal freedom. At the center of it all was MacDermot’s unforgettable music—a revolutionary blend of rock, pop, soul, jazz, and theater that redefined what a Broadway musical could sound like.
The impact of his work extended far beyond the stage. Hits including “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In,” “Hair,” “Good Morning Starshine,” and “Easy to Be Hard” became chart-topping successes and helped carry the message of HAIR to audiences around the world.
This special Heritage Auctions offering features unique archival material that helps tell the story behind the creation of these iconic songs and the evolution of a daring theatrical production into a landmark of American cultural history.
Join us as we explore the legacy of Galt MacDermot, the music that defined a generation, and the archive that preserves the story of Broadway’s Age of Aquarius.
