Ace Young and Diana Degarmo joined the cast of Hair on March 9 of this year. But the American Idol duo’s stint will be cut short. The Broadway revival will shutter it’s doors on June 27.
Poor Diana got the news via text message. Nice.
via Playbill:
The Tony Award-winning revival of Hair, the iconic 1968 rock musical about peace and free-love that changed Broadway’s musical landscape, will close June 27 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre after playing 29 preview performance and 519 regular performances.
The news of the conclusion of the Broadway run follows the May 28 announcement that the West End production would shutter Sept. 4. With members of the Broadway revival cast in tow, Hair opened to strong reviews in London but failed to ignite the box office. A U.S. tour will launch in October at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
The closing news is bittersweet: The Broadway production will celebrate its 500th performance June 11 and will offer 500 free tickets to the first fans in line outside the Al Hirschfeld Theatre when the box office opens at 10 AM. Each individual may receive one ticket.
