The cast of the current Broadway run of Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical, performing at the St. James Theatre, will host a “Be-In” performance to benefit Broadway Impact and help celebrate the recent victory for marriage equality in New York state on Sunday, July 24 at 9pm at Rockwood Music Hall (196 Allen Street). The event coincides with the first day gay couples in New York State can legally wed.

Presented by Thick and Thin Music, the concert will feature songs from Hair, along with original songs and cast favorites.
