'Hair' on Broadway launches website, starts ticket sales

The Public Theater has launched the official website for the Broadway run of its production of “HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical,” which will start previews February 13.

Opening night is set for March 5.

Although casting has not been announced, Playbill reports that due to scheduling conflicts, Jonathan Groff will not be letting the sun shine in this winter. Groff, who was nominated for a Tony for his “Spring Awakening” performance, played Claude in “Hair” for Shakespeare in the Park (where it was free last summer.)

Broadway tickets have gone on sale to American Express cardholders, with the remaining to go on sale to the general public as of December 6.

For a preview, the cast will take part in a live on-air performance during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday November 27, the Public Theater announced.

“Hair” will play the Al Hirschfeld Theatre at 302 W. 45th St., map.

And in case you missed it, the Public Theater has already announced the first of two Shakespeare in the Park 2009 shows: “The Bacchae” by Euripides.
