HAIR Opens on Broadway on March 31, 2009
Friday March 27, 2009
HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical has made the leap to Broadway after a great run as part of the 2008 season of The Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park. The Tribe (what HAIR cast members call themselves) engage the audience throughout the show dancing through the aisles and offering hugs, flowers and fliers to theatergoers, making it one of the most fun and interactive Broadway musicals I've seen in a long time. Audience members who have always wanted the chance to dance on Broadway will love the opportunity to join the cast on stage at the end of the show during the final song (this is a HAIR tradition.)
Be aware that HAIR contains scenes with profanity, simulated drug use, and nudity that might not be appropriate for theatergoers under the age of 12.

Hair is the only show that I’ve ever seen that felt like an experience. The cast aka The Tribe is excellent, the production is fantastic and the songs sound better then ever. The shows themes (Sex, War, Drugs, Race) are as relevant today as they were forty years ago. The best part is the bond that the Tribe forms with the audience. It resonates with everyone long after they’ve left the theater. I urge all theatergoers to order tickets, participate in the show and dance in the finale. You will never forget the Hair experience.
