Limit one entry per person, and two tickets per entry. Winners must be present at the time of the drawing and show valid ID to purchase tickets. Tickets can be purchased from the box office in cash only.
As previously announced, HAIR will open at the Gielgud Theatre in London's West End with the original Broadway cast, with previews beginning on Thursday, April 1, 2010 and an opening night set for Wednesday, April 14th. Led by Director Diane Paulus, the complete creative team will reunite for the London production.
