The Tony Award-winning Broadway production of HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical will celebrate today's blizzard by offering all remaining tickets for tonight's performance (Friday, February 26 at 8:00 PM) for just $40. All theatergoers are welcome to take advantage of this offer by purchasing tickets at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre box office (302 West 45th Street, NYC). This offer is not valid for previously purchased tickets.
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 began preview performances on March 6 at the
Al Hirschfeld Theatre and opened to rave reviews on March 31, 2009. 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. Now, the "Age of Aquarius" dawns again in this jubilant production, which is the winner of 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.

Ghostlight Records' New Broadway Cast Recording of HAIR (2010 Grammy Award nominee) has just been released as a limited edition re-mastered vinyl LP. Last month, HAIR launched the "HAIR eParty," an unprecedented digital initiative designed to give audience members exciting new ways to share and relive the HAIR experience. At each performance, the show's famous finale, when audience members are invited onstage for a massive communal dance party, will be digitally recorded at each performance. The video footage will then be posted on HAIR's official website (www.HairBroadway.com) and audience members will have the opportunity to find and tag themselves, and share the video with friends and family via e-mail or social networking outlets like Facebook and Twitter.
