The Tony Winning Revival Of HAIR Opens At Broward Center Tonight!

By: Jun. 07, 2011

THE SMASH BROADWAY REVIVAL OF
"H A I R"
COMES TO SOUTH FLORIDA PLAYING
Broward Center for the Performing Arts
FROM June 7 -19
PRIOR TO ITS RETURN TO BROADWAY JULY 5.

The 2009 Tony Award Winning Musical Revival HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical,
is coming to South Florida. HAIR will play the Broward Center for the Performing Arts from June 7 - 19. Tickets for HAIR are available now at www.browardcenter.org.

Following the Broward Center engagement, the show will ready for a Broadway return July 5th at the St. James Theatre. 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 as well as the Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical. HAIR was also nominated for an additional seven Tony Awards including Best Direction, Best Choreography, Best Costume Design, Best Lighting Design and Best Sound Design. The cast recording was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

The New York Times says "Diane Paulus's THRILLING, EMOTIONALLY RICH production delivers
INTENSE, UNADULTERATED JOY", Time Out New York says "HAIR SPEAKS TO A WHOLE NEW
GENERATION!" and The Washington Post calls it "IRRESISTIBLE...THE BEST VERSION YET!".
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.
