The cast of Hair on Broadway have cancelled their upcoming October 11th show matinee so that they can join in the National Equality March in Washington to support gay-marriage rights.

Oskar Eustis, the artistic director of the Public Theater, a producer of “Hair,” said that the decision reflected the spirit of the musical. “Its message of change and hope and inclusion is one we try to live, not just preach,” he said in a statement.

The cast appeared on the Conan O'Brien show on Monday and announced that they would be taking part that day in the march, and have offered anyone with tickets to the October 11th show for their added October 5th matinee or any other performance.
