New York City - "Hair" - The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical will play its final performance on Sunday, June 27 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, after having recouped its entire investment and generating a profit, the show's producers announced. U.S. audiences will still be able to delight in this Tony Award-winning, landmark production, as it heads from coast-to-coast in its previously announced First National Tour beginning October 2010 in Washington, DC. Many of the members of the current Broadway 'Tribe' and London 'Tribe' will take part in the tour.

In a statement, Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director of the Public Theater said: "It's been an amazing run. Three years ago we started this revival, free in Central Park, and over the last three years we've elected Obama, marched for equality, and 'Hari's' message of peace and love has been embraced by hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. As we bid farewell to New York and head out on the road, we want to thank this community that has given us so much. We started free, and we're ending free. Thank you New York and hello America."

"Hair" is the winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical, and was similarly honored by The Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and The Drama League.

Directed by Diane Paulus and choreographed by Karole Armitage (both Tony Award nominated for their work), "Hair" features a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot. "Hair" began preview performances on March 6, 2009 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre and opened to rave reviews on March 31, 2009. By the time "Hair" closes, it will have played 29 preview performance and 519 regular performances, making it one of the longest-running Broadway revivals in the last decade. Before embarking on its Broadway run, this production debuted in Central Park as a staged 40th Anniversary concert and was part of The Public Theater's 2008 Shakespeare in the Park season. A London production, featuring the original Broadway cast, opened in April 2010 and is still playing at the West End's Gielgud Theatre.

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. The "Age of Aquarius" dawns again in this jubilant production.
