Hair - Booking?

Whats the buzz... anything?

Remember when new shows had a hype about opening.. what every happened?

And what is with Hairs' prices?! 10 off a group rate aswell!

There is nothing anywhere about it and those prices can't be pulling them in ... That claim of first time ever a Broadway cast has transfered over for a whole went down like a lead balloon!

Exactly... These marketers need to get a grip!

I thought about getting a group together for this show; but nobody is will to part with £55, don't blame them. Its a cracking show, but totally wrong for these price bracket.

They are certainly marketing this show, seen adverts in the tabloids and posters on the underground, so surprised this is selling so slowly.

I didn't connect with the show in New York, but looking forward to seeing this show again at half price.

Its top prices are higher than Love Never Dies, so its not that surprising. The lack of group rates is also ridiculous.

so... i'm the only one excited about this then?

I want to see it, but like Phantom will wait for discounts.

I'm excited about Hair too; rather more so than Sweet Charity.

And, whilst I don't assume that American performers are necessarily superior to British ones, I do think that the shared culture and heritage of an American cast will bring something special to this particular show, its perspective on American history and America's role in the World during that period.

PS Why are they marketing this in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch - are they where retired hippies go to live?

There is hardly any buzz for this. Most people at my college kind of know it's coming but only at student rate prices.

Original Broadway cast- Jerry Lewis' Damn Yankees did this too I believe. Rent was mostly Broadway. In reverse, I think the whole cast of Kiss of the Spiderwoman transfered from London.

This should be a hot ticket but all the focus is on a certain other musequel at the moment...

Scrips, they always use ALOT of musical advertising on that particular train line, as it is the main one that connects the south of England to London!

Thanks sgv123 - I'll try and get in during the first two months to see Will.

the new cast in NY has names that people who watched American Idol would recognize. I adore the cast in London right now. I will be seeing them. £55 seems like a steal. what seats are those for? good seats run the same in NY with the money exchange. Stalls (second section of orchestra it seems) are £72 on the Gielgud site. I must be able to get them cheaper right?

any idea if it has picked up? when i went on to book, it was hard to find really good seats.
