Emily Pinto in Boston Children's Theatre's HAIR August 9 - 11

‘Let the sunshine in’ on 17-year old Emily Pinto of Stoneham who is appearing in Boston Children’s Theatre’s (BCT) production of the Tony® Award winning musical HAIRHAIR will be performed at August 9, 10 and 11 at The Governor’s Academy in Byfield, MA.

Cast in the role of ‘Sheila,’ Emily is no stranger to the stage.  Emily was last seen as ‘Elle’ in BCT’s production of Legally Blonde.  She also appeared in BCT’s World Premiere musical Calvin’s Monster as ‘Little Red Riding Hood,’ as well as in BCT’s production of  Spring Awakening.  At Stoneham High School she appeared in Dani Girl as ‘Dani,’ Chicago and Sweeney Todd, and at Wheelock Family Theater in HONK.

Featuring such chart topping songs as “Aquarius,”  “Let the Sunshine In,” and “Good Morning, Starshine,” HAIR is the ultimate rock musical.  With book and lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot, HAIR is a celebration of youth and their search for peace, truth and love in the tumultuous Vietnam era.   HAIR is directed by Burgess Clark with choreography by Aly Struyk and music direction by Austin Davy.
