Broadway In Chicago Announces HAIR
Broadway In Chicago has announced the 2009 Tony Award Winning Musical Revival HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, is coming to Chicago for a limited engagement March 8-20, 2011. Group tickets (15+) are available now by calling 312-977-1710. Public on sale and additional information will be announced at a later date.
With a score including such enduring musical numbers as "Let the Sun Shine In," Aquarius," "Hair" and "Good Morning Starshine," HAIR depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the 60's and 70's that changed America forever. The musical follows a group of hopeful, free-spirited young people who advocate a lifestyle of pacifism and free-love in a society riddled with intolerance and brutality during the Vietnam War. As they explore sexual identity, challenge racism, experiment with drugs and burn draft cards, the show resonates with an irresistible message of hope more than 40 years after it first opened on Broadway.
HAIR won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Musical Revival and is currently playing on Broadway where it also received the Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical. The HAIR cast recording was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. HAIR recently opened to wide critical acclaim in London’s West End this past April with the original cast from the Broadway production.
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.
Group tickets (15+) are available now by calling Broadway In Chicago Group Sales at 312-977-1710. Public on sale and additional information will be announced at a later date.
