Very excited about Diana, Kyle, Annaleigh, and that Arbender's coming back. Can't wait to see this new cast.
Lol Emma Zaks.

I saw Jeanette Bayardselle on her first show (the 2/3 Wednesday Matinee) and she was amazing!! This "new" Dionne is fabulous and such a sweetheart...(I danced with her on stage).
Ace and Diana definitely should drive up ticket sales since many people crave Idol stars on Broadway (*cough* ROCK OF AGES *cough*)

Posted: 2/16/10 at 4:28pmDoes this mean that MTF3 will be crawling out from under that rock he/she has been hiding under now that Emma is back on Broadway??

Posted: 2/16/10 at 4:42pmDoes anyone know if Will Swenson is only in London for 2 months and then coming back?
#7New Cast Announced for HAIR on Broadway - Ashford, DeGarmo, Wooten, Young &
Posted: 2/16/10 at 5:02pmIdk if this will help, but I remember reading a post that he is only going for two months, then opening for "110 In The Shade" in London (I think). The coming back to rejoin HAIR here...

I assume you're joking. DeGarmo and Young may both be very good in their roles, but they will have absolutely no affect on box office receipts. None.

Posted: 2/16/10 at 5:53pmWell DeGarmo will have at least a teeny effect on the box office. I'll be buying a ticket mostly to see and hear her. I thought she was second only to Kerry Butler as Penny in Hairspray and hope she finds at least a little welcome humor in Sheila.

Will Swenson isn't doing 110 in the Shade in London. He's doing it at his cousin's community theatre in Utah. With Audra McDonald. It's a fundraising venture for his family's theatre.
I did hear he was only going to London for 2 months though...Not surprising, since i assume his children will be staying here. And Audra as well.

Is Luther Creek (who played Claude in the Encores! production of the show years ago) part of the new cast?
He's featured in the photo and video coverage of the press event, but he's not actually listed in the press release.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 2/16/10 at 6:30pmLuther was also in an anniversary tour of Hair in the early Nineties, and has been a mainstay at many Hair reunions. Needless to say, while very much connected to the show and I have no doubt he was there on its behalf, I don't think he's part of the new cast.

Posted: 2/16/10 at 6:32pmThe only surprise to me is that Bryce Ryness isn't doing the show anymore, not here, not London.

Posted: 2/16/10 at 6:36pmUnless something has changed recently (which is very possible) Bryce has something else lined up for the near future.

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 2/16/10 at 6:41pmLuther Creek is going to be Woof in London, and Crystal Joy (Pilar in Legally Blonde tour) will also be in the London cast (not sure if she will be in tribe or Dionne).

Posted: 2/16/10 at 6:58pmAccording to broadway.com picture captions, she'll be tribe. Probably Abe, if I had to guess.

Posted: 2/16/10 at 7:10pmThat was my other question- is Saycon staying in Fela or going to London?
#21New Cast Announced for HAIR on Broadway - Ashford, DeGarmo, Wooten, Young &
Posted: 2/16/10 at 7:36pmMy guess is Saycon stays in Fela! and Krystal Joy Brown will be Abe Lincoln in London. Why would Krystal be Dionne, Sasha Allen is tranfering.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011.
