"Can you just shut the **** up."
I never said anything! 'Dem are fightin' words, missy. I just typed an innocent sentence.
"You are obviously not welcome here."
The BWW Welcoming Comittee was on vacation when I joined.

I"d heard that in the original 60s production, the actors who got naked got paid more for that performance. Is that the case with this production?

Yeah right. The cast is working for scale. I'm sure the producers are more than happy with the way that turned out.

I have been wanting to ask this same question ever since I bought tickets to the show but I was scared everyone would yell at me!
Thanks brave op for taking all the abuse!

Gee, it's Hair. Why are we still asking if they get naked?
And scale for most of the actors is more than they were making both a few months ago and while at the park. They are all still making more than I do (not much more) and I've been at my job for 15 years -- and need an advanced college degree to do it!

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

"Wait... you mean there's no lap-dance?"
Well, I was in the front row and during one of Will's crossing in front of us, he stopped and sat on my friend's lap while facing the stage, singing and moving around so technically, you could say it was a lap dance. Oh and as for the "dark" nude scene, in the front row, it's as clear as day. You could see everything their Mama's gave'em, but they can see you too, so binoculars, flash photography and courtroom sketching are greatly discouraged.

I find it funny that people still find nudity shocking or "not that bad". Seems we haven't come that far since '69 in some respects. It's the human body people and it is a beautiful biomechanical thing in all it's various shapes sizes and variations.
Yes, when the show was first on Broadway, if they were naked they had to stand still. Any jiggling of body parts was considered lewd. Later on (I read somewhere) in other shows that had nudity, it seemed the laws changed and it could only happen if the performer was in constant motion. I guess the idea was that you couldn't get a good look at moving bits.

According to one of my mentors, one of the stage managers on the original production, the cast got paid an extra $5 for each performance in which they decided to get naked. One of his jobs was to actually take a head count of who did it at each performance, as it was not mandatory in any way and the cast could decide up until the last moment whether or not they would.
Tickets From $59
Tickets From $95
