Tony Award-winning Hit Revival of HAIR Plays the Orpheum Theatre, March 1-6, 2011

MINNEAPOLIS—Hennepin Theatre Trust announced today that individual tickets for HAIR, the 2009 Tony Award-winning musical revival playing the Orpheum Theatre March 1-6, 2011, will go on sale at 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 19. From 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., tickets will only be available in person at the State Theatre Box Office. Beginning at 10 a.m., tickets will also be sold online through HennepinTheatreTrust.org, by calling 1.800.982.2787 or visiting a Ticketmaster Ticket Center. With a score including such groundbreaking numbers as “Let the Sun Shine In,” Aquarius,” “Hair” and “Good Morning Starshine,” HAIR depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the 60s and 70s that changed America forever. HAIR is part of Hennepin Theatre Trust’s 2010/11
Broadway Across America-Minneapolis season.

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. The HAIR cast recording was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. 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. 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. The New York Times says “Diane Paulus’s thrilling, emotionally rich production delivers intense, unadulterated joy” and Time Out New York says “HAIR speaks to a whole new generation!” Additional show information can be found at www.HairOnTour.com.
