What's the interaction like for those seated in Row A of the orchestra section, at center? More specifically, seats 107 and 108. I'm rather hopeful of booking (and) curious as to what to expect. Thanks for any insight!

I know that there is a cast member who sits in the laps of those around that area---center section of row A. People are hanging off the stage in that area and they are constantly running through there as well.

Haha! That's totally awesome!

To anyone else who's been to the Hirsch for this particular mounting, could you tell me which is the center-most seat in Row A? Thanks!

fyi wasn't sure if you knew or not, but orch row A at HAIR falls under premium seat pricing.

And row A is 13 seats across (A101 to A113), so either A106 or A107 would be centermost.

^I didn't have to pay the premium seat price for my front row seat.

oh that's cool... hmm maybe it's only certain seats and/or certain nights or something, because I'm looking at one right now (contemplating a birthday gift to myself) and it's currently listed as premium.

If you are sitting in the front row or have an aisle seat you will have alot of cast interaction. This is a very random show (as far as interaction goes) so it may vary.

Front row is the hot zone IMO. Lots of actors running through and stopping and interacting. Its like the hippie equivalent of the "SPLATTER ZONE" at Evil Dead: The Musical. Just dont stretch out or you will trip an actor.

Is the Playbill still in-color?

Does the cast do pictures / sign during matinees?

What seats go on stage at the end? How is that determined?

This cast is the nicest cast I have ever met...all are very kind and they take photos and sign after mat and eve shows. The playbills are still in color.

It does not matter where you sit...you can go on stage, but I suggest if you are in the mezz start heading down during curtain call.

Here's my question. Are you garuanteed to be approached or nearly approached by an actor at some point?

Pretty much, since the cast walks over the seats, but if you sit on an aisle your chances are way better. I have been approached both times I have been on an aisle(front row and 2nd row)and walked over when I was in the middle of a row.

I've sat in both 111 and 107 row A and both times I got a crapload of interaction with the cast. Playing with hair, grabbing, touching, sitting on my lap and when I was in 111 one of the tribe members, jackie burns(who wins when it comes to cast interaction), pickeed me up out of my seat and danced with me during electric blues. Anywhere in the front row is incredibaly fun.

That sounds totally rad! Cannot wait!

What of Will's specific interactions: The asking for money, the holding of his pants, etc., etc. Are there particular seats that get such honors bestowed? Sorry for so many ?s, I'm just super-stoked at the prospect of 'being there' after having gotten screwed out of the final preview performance.

Spoilers ahead:


Will asks the person in Row A First seat center (A115?) aisle to hold his pants. That same chair is where Wolf straddles the seat and dances on the arm rests. My Cousin sat there on Tuesday and she received a big kiss and a heart felt "Thank-you" in her ear from both of them for being such a good sport. The first seat on that row on the aisle is where Will asks whoever is sitting there for change. Will's Mom is someone sitting in the middle of the row.

Sorry, I know next to nada about this show but want to see it desperately. Are there certain songs or times in the shows the cast interacts with the audience or is it all continual? And does Hair the musical itself have a history of audience interaction or is this a perk of the revival? Thanks.

re: Hair Cast Audience Interaction

Posted: 6/12/09 at 1:17am

The cast is roaming out in the audience during most of the show during songs, but they also walk down the aisles during exits/entrances. Some songs they interact include "Hair" "Electric Blues" and "Aquarius".

Cast interaction has always been apart of this show.

"Do the cast members always stand on chairs and put their crotches in audience member faces like they did last night? That was pretty disturbing!"

Hee, hee, hee... Right, isn't it?!
I think they should have sense enough as performers to stick to those audience members who look like they want to interact =) leave the rest alone.

I had hoped that at least being in the back of the mezz would eliminate any of that silliness when I was taken (by virtue of miscommunication) to see the show, but sadly I was mistaken.

I feel the same rule that applies to things like Horror Houses at Halloween ~ the cast of the House is not allowed to touch those going through it ~ should apply here as well.

It's a serious invasion of personal space that goes on, and no, they do NOT always read who "wants" interaction and who doesn't. (Or, what's even worse in my mind, they think they can MAKE someone want it BY interacting with them.)

Do lotto seats or standing room get more interaction?

re: Hair Cast Audience Interaction

I love it when the cast interacts with someone that looks like they don't want it. Old ladies too, very funny. If you really think its that much of and invasion of personal space you need to loosen up. Especially being a poster on this board we all know about the cast interaction so you can at least be prepared for it.

SRO get gets a lot of interaction. Lotto it depends on the seats you get.
