you go, starshiners.
he Tony Award-winning Broadway production of HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical is pleased to announce the success of their partnership with Clear Channel New York to create "Love Out Loud: A Donation of LOVE from HAIR on Broadway," a series of fundraising auctions to benefit The Fresh Air Fund that have raised over $15,000.
From March 11 to May 19, 2010, Clear Channel New York held a "Love Out Loud" auction on each of their radio stations (106.7 Lite fm, 103.5 KTU, Q104.3, WALK 97.5 and Z100) with opportunities to bid on once-in-a-lifetime prizes, including dinner with cast-member Diana DeGarmo, a private vocal lesson with Musical Director Nadia DiGiallonardo and many more. The highest bid was made on a walk-on cameo role in HAIR, totaling over $11,000! All proceeds from the auctions are benefitting The Fresh Air Fund, which provides free summer experiences to children from low-income New York City communities.
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. HAIR began preview performances on March 6 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre and opened to rave reviews on March 31, 2009. The story of a group of young Americans searching for love and peace during the Vietnam era, HAIR is a timeless portrait of a movement that changed the world. Its groundbreaking rock score paved the way for some of the greatest musicals of our time. Now, the "Age of Aquarius" dawns again in this jubilant production, which is the winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. The Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle also honored the production with their 2009 award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical.
