Let your HAIR Down Elite Event

Another fantastic Elite event. Frances, you really know how to bring the FUN!
Hair happens to have been my favorite musical album in my parent’s stash when I was a kid — I’d put the LP on the turntable and dance around singing all the words (goodness me… I didn’t know what most of the songs were about at the ripe age of 8!). This was my first chance to see the full production on the big stage so I was excited to have the opportunity to take advantage of this event.
The Winspear is one of my favorite places to see shows and while I normally purchase tickets on the floor, I was pleased that the upper seats were just as comfortable and that sound quality was almost as good. (Beggars can’t be chosers, right?!) And I had never noticed the über-​cool chandelier that gets sucked into the ceiling prior to performances. Groovy!
There are so many other cool things about the Winspear — the ability to pre-​order drinks for intermission (just walk up and show your receipt) which allows for maximum cocktail time while still making it to the ladies room. Parking is a breeze — there are so many different options available. My personal favorite is parking at One Arts Plaza and then taking the Art Car to/​from the performance while frequenting the cool local restaurants before/​after.
The touring production of Hair was fantastic… high energy, lovely set design, and some nice minor revisions to bring it into relevance the 21^st century Two weeks later and I’m still walking around singing the songs!
The after-​party at Jorges was fun — we would have stayed longer had it not been so late. But the margarita we sampled was refreshing and I enjoyed the sampling of appetizers. I will definitely order their beef nachos on my next visit!
Thank you Unilocal for another fantastic party!

It was a lot of fun to be able to go to this event. The at&t performing arts center was beautiful and. Was really nice to meet everyone.

Mr Bear and I had a GROOVY time at the Unilocal event! The musical HAIR is just as relevant today as it was 40 years ago. Although we were unable to attend the after party, we enjoyed the company of all the Unilocalers who came to the show, especially those who remember that era along with us. Those were exciting times, and it was a great experience to relive a slice of it again in traditional 70s attire!

How appropriate is it that my 100^th review on Unilocal just so happens to be for my very first Unilocal Elite Event?!
How fun was this?! This was my first visit to the AT&T Performing Arts Center, and my guest and I were wowed by what a unique performance venue this was. We were especially enchanted by the automated, glowing, color-​changing light featured which was suspended from the ceiling… it’s the little things, people! Hair… certainly unique and captivating, to say the least! And OF COURSE, I was so glad to be able to meet the one and only FRANCES in person, even if it was only for about 60 seconds… an enjoyable 60 seconds none the less! :-)
Unfortunately, like David W., we had to hit the trail at the conclusion of «Hair» (who knew it was two hours+ ?!) in light of a 4:30 AM alarm clock the next morning, so we were unable to partake in the fun at Jorge’s. Boooo.
Thank you Frances, for putting this all together for us, and I can’t wait for the next Unilocal event!

Hey we got to see the musical «Hair» and a free margarita at «Jorges» after the show, all compliments of Unilocal.Thanks Frances! and the Unilocal Gods for being so generous to us.
Now for some pointers:
1. If you want better seats than the ones you have during any production, scope out whats empty during Act 1. During Intermission stake claim quickly, while someone else in your party goes for cocktails. The ushers don’t care, they actually expect it.
2. If you’re given a drink ticket and a free plate of apps, the establishment hopes you will not only spread the good word, but maybe even purchase a few additional things, since they are being so generous, and at least leave a good tip on the free drink.
It comes across as a bit stingy if you don’t.

My first Unilocal Elite event and it was great! Hair was right up my alley because I’m an aging hippie. We had a great time seeing a great play and enjoyed Jorge’s afterward. Francis, you are great! can’t wait for more events. Thanks again!

Is the at&t Performing Arts Center and Winspear the same thing? Either way it was great event & thanks to Frances for setting it up.
I had forgotten the plot so it was kept me entertained & the Claude vs. Berger discussion is ongoing. Plus I got to see boobies.
Bottoms up Frances!

Holy Moly… this was fun! I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for a play/musical…so you better believe I was al about this event! And once again, Frances delivered…
The play rocked… the new performance arts center was BEAUTIFUL… and Jorges was the perfect night-​cap to round out the evening. I even went back the next day for lunch :)
Thanks G!!! You sure do know how to spoil us…

Totally Awesome! Groovy! Funkadelic! Far Out, Man! Way Cool!
I have been waiting 44 years to see this Broadway play, and it brought back a lot of memories of those incredible Sixties. We were there, and lived it!
The Bears had a great time with Frances and all the Unilocalers at the Let Your HAIR Down Elite Event! The WInspear is a really nice opera house and the acoustics and accoutrements were really nice. Really liked the bar service. Just one word of advice about the Valet parking — don’t. Totally inept and absolutely NOT worth the $ 25 price tag. It’s gonna be self-​park from now on, baby.
Unfortunately, we had to get up REALLY EARLY the next morning for work, and we live WAY up north, so we were not able to stay for margaritas at Jorges.
This Elite event is No. 1 so far — great job, Frances!!!

Yea! Great and different event Frances! It was fun and very unexpected :) (Those of you that were there know what I’m talking about.)
Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

What a great event! Thank you Frances for, as usual, being such a gracious and sweet host. Little did you know that I was on the down side (and no not contagious) of a bout with strep and was not really feeling my full self yet, but this show was what I needed to finally get out of the house and enjoy myself. Like last time, I also met some great people. Thanks again and I can’t wait for the next event! :)

Hooray for Frances!
I thought this was a super neat event, and I was really glad to make this my first event (due to timing only, not lack of interest!).
It was really great to chat with Frances about the show, Oktoberfest, and even the upcoming State Fair.
Next time hopefully I’ll get to chat with more folks! I didn’t get to make it to Jorge’s after the awesome performance of Hair, but I have no doubt that it was awesome too.
I am positive that I will have «Aquarius/​Let the sun shine» in my head until the end of time, but I’m okay with that!

Holy smokes… this was one groooovy night! What a nice treat to get to see a show like this. I enjoyed the message as well as the music. Add me to the club of people who had the music in their heads today! Guyton and I enjoyed dressing up and joining the fun!
The afterparty at Jorge’s was a blast, too! The wait staff was great, the food was delish, and the margaritas were STRONG! And I love my extra flowers that I got! They’re sitting in a vase in my kitchen right now. :-)
Thanks, Frances, for another home run of an event!

This is my first Unilocal event. Very enjoyable. Now I’m excited and wanna attend more events.
