Paramount Theatre Presents HAIR, 3/14-4/1
Everything about them was a statement. Their clothes, a rejection of materialism. Their drugs, a quest to get closer to God. Their long hair, a flag of freedom. They were hippies, the social watch dogs of the 1960s, and they played a pivotal role in American pop culture.
Experience the one musical that captures the intensity, the celebration and the angst of that time - Hair, playing Mar.14 - Apr. 1, 2012 at the Paramount Theatre, 23 E. Galena in downtown Aurora. You won't be an audience member at the Paramount's final production in its inaugural Broadway series. Rather, you'll be part of the tribe in this much-anticipated, sensory overload production directed by Rachel Rockwell, named "Chicago's Best Director" of 2010 by Chicago Magazine, with acclaimed Chicago musical director Doug Peck leading the Paramount Theatre Orchestra.
From "Aquarius" and "Let the Sun Shine In" to the '60s anthem "Hair," your mind will be moved, your body exhilarated and your soul stimulated in this musical quest for peace, love and change. Performance times are Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; Thursday at 7:30 p.m.; Friday at 8 p.m.; Saturday at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Press opening is Friday, Mar. 16 at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $34.90-$46.90. For tickets and information, go to ParamountAurora.com, call the Paramount box office, (630) 896-6666, or visit the box office Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and 2 hours prior to evening performances.
