The hippies of the Tony Award-winning revival of Hair, which launched a U.S. tour last fall, turned their psychedelic bus around for a special engagement opening July 13 on Broadway at the St. James Theatre.
The ten-week Broadway gig is a summer stop on the current national tour of Hair, which launched in the fall of 2010. Hair began previews July 5 and will play a limited run through Sept. 10.
The tour is scheduled to continue across the U.S. following the Broadway return, with stops planned in Dallas, Denver, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Toronto.
Tony Award nominee Diane Paulus directs the production, which has choreography by Karole Armitage.
Here is a look at the opening night:
