November 02, 1967
THE VILLAGE VOICE, Greenwich Village, New York, November 2, 1967 Prior to making it to Broadway and becoming one of the most famous musicals to hit the stage, the musical "Hair" appeared off-Broadway at The Public Theater in Greenwich Village. This issue contains an ad (pg. 28) and perhaps the earliest (?) review (pg. 35). Curiously, it begins: "As for 'Hair', I loathed and despised it. Described as 'an American tribal love-rock, musical', it turns out to be all phony...".
Due to its limited engagement, and it being prior to its eventual Broadway success, such ads are quite rare, even more so when from Greenwich Village's own iconic newspaper.
Also present are ads for The Doors, Janis Ian, Donovan, Arlo Guthrie and more.
The front page begins with a feature article on H. Rap Brown.
Complete in 48 pages, good condition.
Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive.
Alert: Many issues contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
