An Introduction to "Hair" in the Burgplatz.

The ticket booth in the Burgplatz with the cathedral in the background.
 
A couple of weeks ago I went with friends to a free introduction to the musical in the open air theatre in Braunschweig.  It was a chance for the production team to dance and sing in front of an audience, and also a chance to listen to the Brazilian choreographer, who talked about the problems of performing in the round.  All very interesting, particularly as he spoke in English, the one common language he had with his dancers and crew. 
 
I am going to a performance proper on Saturday evening, 20th August.
Watch this space for a write up.

Henry the Lion, the 12th cent Duke of Braunschweig's "Lion Monument,"  is always included centre stage in the action.
