The amazing thing is that is was a tribute to the original cast performing the same songs on the same stage 40 years ago.
They sounded great but I do think I liked the Aquarius Singer better in the park.
But It was a tokin' hot performance.
Peace out.

Allison Case was adorable as always.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 12:49amThe show is just on here in Denver. I am so hoping they pay homage to the performance the original cast did in that same theater with Ed Sullivan.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 9:47amI wasn't expecting The Flesh Failures too. That was just fantastic. Sometimes performances that break the 4th wall play really weird on TV, but this cast made it work. Splendid.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 2:28pmBest production of the year. Hands down. InCREDible performance!

Posted: 5/1/09 at 4:03pmThat was awesome. Has the little electric guitar "National Anthem" riff at the very end of "Let the Sunshine In" always been part of the score or is that new?

Posted: 5/1/09 at 5:01pmCats, it's not placed there in the show. I think it's in Electric Blues.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 5:38pmThat was fantastic! It makes me even more excited to go see it! I'm (hopefully) seeing it in July.

WOW is right. I don't think a YouTube clip has ever made me so downright giddy.
TV performances are usually incredibly awkward and watered-down, so what an unexpected delight this was! Reminds me of seeing the show in Park this summer during previews, not having any idea whether to expect a decent Hair or a terrible Hair, and just being blown away from the opening number. Can't wait to see the Broadway production.

Posted: 5/1/09 at 5:54pmI desperately want to see this show.

Looks like the audience loved it!
I think that performance alone will make people want to see the show. That is the first t.v. performance that has made me want to see it.
