There are also pictures of the cast up in the boxes on the street level. There are three empty boxes, presumably for the three roles that haven't been cast yet- Claude, Sheila, and Dionne.
Although, I have heard Sheila has been cast.

Could Josh Lamon be Claude? He had posted on his Facebook that he was cast in HAIR.

There is absolutely no way Lamon is Claude.
My guess is that he's going to cover Andrew Kober's Margaret Mead track.

Since I've heard absolutely no rumors about the new Claude, I'm wondering if it's just going to be Christopher Hanke.

Do you guys think this will turn a profit? I mean it says that the opening was pushed earlier due to ticket demand, but I can't see this one selling out.

thanks being.jeremiah i didnt realize.
maybe they moved it up because they are going to be ready to start earlier.which would help them profit from the extra 3 shows. so i guess it works out both ways

Well, with bad word-of-mouth coming out of DC in response to WWS, maybe Hair has a better chance of stealing the "Best Revival" Tony, which means it might get a good boost in Ticket Sales.

Bad word-of-mouth? Nearly all the reviews I've heard so far are mostly positive. Just because people choose to focus on and pick apart the few complaints doesn't mean the word-of-mouth is bad.

What reviews have you been reading?
From the WSS in D.C. thread:
orangeskittles: Overall, I loved it.
bethnor: the spanish is seamless and elevates the material. josefina is worth the price of admissions.
KChenowethfan: I just got back from the show. Overall it is in great shape. It felt true and not forced in practice. It is a very exciting production.
philcrosby: I saw the show Saturday night, and there is much to like. Worth seeing for the good stuff that is there.
From the WSS in Spanish thread:
Pianolin717: it was really nice to hear the Spanish incorporated, i LOVED it! :) I don't speak any spanish either and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED it
it was PHENOMENAL! honestly it exceeded any and all expectations I had
DottieD'Luscia: I saw the show this evening and think the spanish worked very well.
From the SO MAD! thread:
miss pennywise: Overall, I liked it. I feel like the show needs a lot of work, but the talent on stage is completely capable.
DottieD'Luscia: Just returned from this evening's performance and what a difference a couple of more days made. The show seemed tighter. I'll definitely go back again in January.
orangeskittles: I liked it better the second time as well.
Compared to two negative reviews, sounds mostly positive to me.

I think one of you is talking about the reviews Hair got this summer, while the other is talking about the early reviews of WSS.

Yeah, probably. I was talking about WSS.
