So, I'm pretty sure the current HAIR cast performs its last performance on March 9th.. but does anyone know if any cast members (Gavin Creel, Allison Case, etc) are leaving before that date?
please help, i want to see the show with as much of the original cast as i can :)

If you want to see as much of the original cast as you can, go as soon as possible. It's pretty simple.

i don't live in NYC.. i live several states away.. so I want to know if i should push to get to NYC in Feb to see HAIR with most of the OBC. I've looked online but I can't find anything about cast members leaving earlier than Mar 9.

Yes, I doubt any of them will be leaving before that date. (Not that it's impossible...but most had one year contracts....which would be up sometime in March or April...and Gavin extened his formerly short contract.

I don't forsee anyone else leaving: and why would they since they are continuing with the show in London? There certainly will be sick days and vacations and such....but you can't do anything about them.

I feel like the cast is good regardless, since the show is so ensemble. I saw Will Swenson in place of Gavin Creel, and he was just as amazing ;D

Um....no you didn't. Will ONLY plays Berger; Gavin only plays Claude.

I don't know who you saw play Claude....but it wasn't Will.

HAHAHA there is no way that's possible.

March 9th is a Tuesday...why would that be there last performance? It is more likely to be on SUNDAY, March 7th

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&. "Jayne just sat there while Gina flailed around the stage like an idiot."

I was under the impression that March 7th was the tribe's last show and that the 9th was when the new one began...
I could be wrong though.

Did anyone find out any information about who's going to London? Because last time I checked, I heard no one was going for sure yet.

I am pretty sure that Andrew Kober is going.

I can't believe that it's true that no one is confirmed...as they are publicizing that the entire bway cast is going. It could just be that no contracts have been signed as of yet. (but I do believe it would be unrealistic to think ALL of them are making the commitment.)

Um....no you didn't. Will ONLY plays Berger; Gavin only plays Claude.

I don't know who you saw play Claude....but it wasn't Will.

Most likely it either Paris or Jay, both are Gavin's understudies and covered Claude while Gavin was out with his injury.

Yes, I know WHO his understudies are....but I would have no idea who THAT poster saw when he THOUGHT he was seeing Will.

Sorry Drama, I kind of figured you knew who the understudies were, I only used your post as a reference, answer was intended for BroadwayBound062, thinking he may have mixed up Paris for Will or maybe Jay (not sure how though)

Andrew Kober said on his video blog that he's going, I think that's all we know for sure?

Yeah, he did.
I feel like Will might not go...he is very close to his kids.

Luv2Go...thanks for the clarification. Hope I wasn't too snippy. (But I think that op ran away.)

So affored me a moment of clarity, is Hair closing and moving to the West End, or is it staying open and the cast in it now moving to London? If so, does that mean there will be a new cast?

The plan: MUCH/most of the cast will transfer leaving a practically new cast on b'way.
