Broadway revival of ‘Hair’ recoups its investment
NEW YORK — The Broadway revival of “Hair” is in the black.
Public Theater artistic director Oskar Eustis (YEW’-stis) says the Tony-winning revival of the “Age of Aquarius” musical has recouped its $5.76 million productions costs in four months.
The show opened March 31 to favorable reviews, and has been doing strong business at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.
The production was a critical and popular success for the Public Theater at the outdoor Delacorte Theatre in Central Park last summer. The original “Hair” had its world premiere at the Public Theater in 1967.

“Hair” is the only show that I’ve ever seen that felt like an experience. The cast is excellent, the production is fantastic and the songs sound better then ever. The shows themes are as relevant today as they were forty years ago. I urge theatergoers to order tickets, participate in the show and dance in the finale. You’ll never forget the “Hair” experience. |

“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. |
