It's called schmacting Best12. A fine artform practiced by pretty boy (and girl) performers.

That wig is horrendous! Kind-of makes him look like Kathy Griffin.

There are a LOT of schmactors running around loose these days, BobbyBubby! On TV and film, too, not just Broadway.

I feel like schmacking a few of them upside the head right now.

Hmm... They all look like they stink. Whew! I gotta disinfect.

I was really looking forward to this but after seeing these photos I am afraid I am going to be terribly disappointed! There is really no feeling of authenticity at all! In order for this to work , there has to be dirt and grime, there has to be an edge!
We were all barefooted back then, hanging out in the parks. Our jeans patched but not for the sake of a costume designer's hazy vision but to cover our exposed asses and knees.
Damn I am feeling old!

In addition to needing some serious "stage dirt," they all look too old for some reason.

Look at these photos of the original cast:

I don't care - seeing these pictures really wants to make me see this show. Hair is one of my favorites, and I wish I had the chance to get to NY to see it, but I don't have the time to spend the day waiting to get tickets.

Really "wants to make you see this show?"

Once again, they've missed the boat. Rado evidently wants to get to know some candy-ass chorus boys again (wink wink), and it's too neat, clean, and precise. It's totally out of HAIR's actual orbit.

The director apparently is good, but the designers are apparently on Cover Girl and TrimSpa. It's too cutesy. And I can tell you who could do it like that. But I'm just like Arthur Laurents (i.e., I'm an asshole). So I won't.

Ok, I'm only familiar with the movie version of Hair but isn't the Groff character (Claude) supposed to be a clean cut Midwestern boy? Or was that specifically changed for the film?

I love how people are making assumptions on photoshopped pics as if they just saw the entire production.

Why not look at some of the performances on Youtube?

best12bars-
If you were in rehearsal, singing a song, and wearing beads that were smacking you in the face while you were jumping, wouldn't you react like a human being with reflexes and hold them down too? Oh wait, you're just sitting at your computer writing 2/3 of the comments on this site, bitter that you're not in rehearsals.

Posted: 7/12/08 at 7:52pm

too cutesy.
not sexy.
definitely not "real".

"Oh wait, you're just sitting at your computer writing 2/3 of the comments on this site, bitter that you're not in rehearsals."

Yeah, B12B you're just bitter that you aren't in rehearsals for what is bound to be the best ever production of Hair ever ever done ever! Bitter...bitter...bitter...that's what you are. BITTER!

It's obvious from those YouTube videos...that it's so much better than the original. Tee-hee-hee.

My only thought...


WHO THE HECK IS THIS GUY? I kind of love him. I think you can see who I'm talking about. =P

Otherwise, yeah, way too clean. But it was just a concert. They'll probably gunk it up for the show.

bestinshow, that was a change for the movie. In the stage show, Claude's from Flushing, and not an outsider. Someone correct me if this has been altered in one of the show's 800 book alterations.

I read anything but bitterness in Besty's posts. Disappointment, frustration, and longing for a truly subversive production, yes, but bitterness? What are you smoking?
I have never seen HAIR live, but seeing those photos of Upper East Siders dressed up for 70s nights at their favorite gay club certainly does not make me want to see this production.
Groff looks absolutely disastrous, not only extremely clean-cut but he looks completely phony and like he is playing dress-up.
HAIR is not a calculated show, it's not a show where you think you have to hold on to the beads so they don't make you look inadequate, it's the kind of show that just makes you want to jump regardless of the consequences, period. So instead of being a cute fangirl of Groff and attacking Best12bars for no reason, why don't you just go and read a little about the show, or merely look at the pictures from the original cast that Besty posted?
