‘Hair’ and ‘Hamlet’ to Lead Shakespeare in the Park Season
The Public Theater confirmed Thursday that the 2008 Shakespeare in the Park season will feature full productions of “Hair” and “Hamlet.” Based on the concert production in September, Diane Paulus will once again direct a cast of 27 led by Jonathan Groff (“Spring Awakening”) as Claude and Will Swenson as Berger. In fact, the full concert cast has been invited back. “Hamlet” will star Michael Stuhlbarg as Hamlet and Richard Easton as Polonius. “Hamlet” has not been staged at the Delacorte theatre since 1975 when Sam Waterston played the title role.
I LOVED the "Hair" concert and saw it twice in September. I absolutely cannot wait to reattend.
