While I still love the show itself (and have no plans to go to NYC due to financial issues) that still just blew all my intrest in this out the door.

Good. All the boy has going for him is a pretty voice. He's boring. Does this mean Christopher J. Hanke will step in or will they be getting someone new? And who sang the song "Shelia Franks" because she should be replaced. Her voice was nothing spectacular.

I am a huge fan of this show, and would say to anyone who did not see the show last summer...don't let Mr Groff's absence discourage you. I never got to see him as Claude and I enjoyed each viewing immensely (went 3 times). The rest of the cast (especially Mr Swenson) was great, and the show is very powerful. Just my humble opinion.

RentBoy86, there is no such song in HAIR.

If you are referring to "I Believe In Love (which beings with "Sheila Franklin, second semester, NYU...,") THAT was sung by Caren Lyn Manuel, who is being replaced for the Broadway production.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Maybe he wants to do a show where he gets to wear pants for the full performance.

FYI-Groff did not remove his clothes in HAIR (at last summer's show at Central Park Delacorte Theater) He was never nude in the show!

Groff's character, Claude does not get nude at the end of the Act 1. Everyone else has the option to go nude, but Claude never gets naked.

so it's not like it was his choice to keep his clothes on. it's written that way in the script.

I;m really surprised and dissapointed to here this.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it last summer so what I see in February will not be up for comparison. However, after seeing Rock of Ages, I do hope and pray that Will Swenson will be part of the revival. He was terrific in ROA.
