Directed by
Diane Paulus and choreographed by
Karole Armitage, HAIR features a book and lyrics by
Gerome Ragni and
James Rado and music by
Galt MacDermot. HAIR opened to rave reviews on March 31, 2009 and recently celebrated 500 performances at the
Al Hirschfeld Theatre (302 W 45 Street, NYC). As previously announced, the show will end its triumphant run on Broadway next Sunday, June 27 and will embark on a national tour in October 2010.
The story of a group of young Americans searching for love and peace during the Vietnam era, HAIR is a timeless portrait of a movement that changed the world. Its groundbreaking rock score paved the way for some of the greatest musicals of our time. The "Age of Aquarius" dawns again in this jubilant production, which won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. The Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle also honored the production with their 2009 award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical.
