Hey guys... I used to post here but haven't in forever. I saw this posted on fbook and thought some of you HAIR fans in NYC might like to know -- especially if you don't get in on the already much-discussed rush.
(this is totally copy-pasted)
"Bummed about HAIR closing? Come to the BE-IN every day in Times Square and help save it!
Weekdays 2-6, Saturday noon-6, Sunday noon-2
Come to times square in jeans and hippy clothes, some of the producers and other volunteers will be there to help promote the show. 8 hours of the course of the next week will earn you a comp, 15 hours will earn you 2. We will provide some merchandise, fliers, temporary tatoos, and large placards. any more questions? email COLIN@ANDYSANDBERG.COM"

Posted: 6/11/10 at 12:23amCan't the show just close gracefully? Why must it be "saved"? It had a nice run, won some awards, and recouped. Can't they just be happy with that?

Posted: 6/11/10 at 12:29amI completely agree that the show has had a great run and done very well... I just thought some people might not have heard about this and might be interested in another way to get free tix if they want.

Posted: 6/11/10 at 12:42amThe producers, or at least one producer (Andy Sandberg) is organizing this. It's a smart move to try to get every buck they can. If it works, they'll maybe get a two week extension. I don't see any harm in that -- it's not like there is a show ready to move in immediately.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 6/11/10 at 2:28amI just don't see what this will accomplish. Just sounds like an attempt to make a street team without really "paying" them like other shows would.

OY, not about the POSTING of this but the desperation of this. They are not going to SAVE it...but maybe they won't end up playing to a 1/2 full house for their last shows.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 6/11/10 at 7:35amIt is a very good move, why not go all out for the final two weeks? If I were them I'd be searching for every dollar I could. If I wasn't so busy I would love to do this!

The fact that they a) had 500 tickets available to give away on such short notice and b) have enough tickets to give away with this stunt (yes, I'm calling it a stunt because that's what it is) is testimony to exactly WHY it is closing.
For once I agree with adamgreer. They've had a nice run. Just close gracefully.
