FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HAIR: BREAKING NEWS 29 April 1999 Michael Butler, the original Broadway producer of the Musical Masterpiece "HAIR", announced today that, in cooperation with the authors James Rado and Galt MacDermot the theatrical revival of "HAIR" will be moved to open in the spring of 2001. The play is currently scheduled to be presented in a Theatrical Festival format, which will feature an atmosphere of colorful tents and street scenes reminiscent of the 60's. This strategic move is designed to make way for a special presentation to launch in the spring of 2000. According to plan, this should pave the way for a very long run of "HAIR" in its original theatrical form. Michael Butler comments, "In order for us to insure a lengthy run of the play, we want to introduce a new generation to the musical aspects of the show. This environment will only serve to enhance the play version and will bridge the generation gap between the older audience who loved the show and the younger kids". Mr. Butler will now commence production on another play to open in the spring of 2000 in The Tribe Theater Festival. |
