Hair presented by MadKap Productions at Skokie Theatre

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...Among the large ensemble whose voices mesh beautifully under the music direction of Jeremy Ramey (who also leads the onstage band), two stand out: Niki-Charisse Franco, who launches the evening with a stirring "Aquarius," and Sam Hook, adorable in his passion for Mick Jagger."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...MadKap Production's inaugural production of the 2023-2024 season is a fast-paced, infectious romp through the flower-powered, bell-bottomed, beaded, drug-hazed, sex-crazed, protest-raised phenomenon that was the late 1960s to early 1970s. HAIR's exuberant fourteen-member cast makes this 2 ½ hour show (with one 15-minute intermission) fly by."

Buzz Center Stage - Highly Recommended

"...Skokie Theatre Company proved I was in good hands. The cast members greeting guests on the street set the mood, and I was charmed when Woof (Sam Hook) blew me a kiss from the stage. And then Dionne (Niki-Charisse Franco) began to croon the opening bars of 'Aquarius' and I relaxed. I knew I could sit back and enjoy the show."

Life and Times - Recommended

"...Wendy Kaplan and Wayne Mell of MadKap Productions are experts at putting on great shows that audiences delight in experiencing and Hair fits the bill nicely. The Skokie Theatre is a beautiful facility with comfortable seats, great sightlines, and plenty of free parking in the area. Located at 7924 Lincoln Avenue in Skokie, the Skokie Theatre is convenient to both city and suburbs."

Splash Magazine - Highly Recommended

"...With book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, and music by Gail MacDermot, HAIR features a soundtrack of “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Hair,” and “Let The Sunshine In.” Exploring ideas of identity, community, global responsibility and peace, HAIR examines what it means to be a young person in a changing world."
