Hey guys, How likely is there to be a discount code out between August 18-22? Also do the codes ever cover Aisle seats?

While anything is possible....I wouldn't count on it....it's selling extremely well. Usually, the new discount doesnt' come out until the current one is about to expire.

As far as aisle seats...I couldn't tell you. However, it seems as if the discount covers less and less desireable seats -- sides instead of the center or in the back I wouldn't be suprised if aisle seats are no longer available for discounts...if nothing else because they are being sought after.

Totally worth the full price!

Think I will just hold out for one and if not i'll do lottery everyday.

Can't justify $120 for just one ticket, especially when im wanting to see 11 shows in New York this summer.

I was at the show tonight, and it was even better the third time. I stood in SRO and got to support Will when he scared women in front of me by leaning over the barricade, Darius smacked my ass and Caissie gave everyone lovely pats on the back. I have to say so far SRO is my favorite place to watch the show from, and that Tuesday nights are my least favorite because it seemed kind of uptight compared to weekend shows. There weren't a lot of people wanting to get into it more than reminiscing about "Good Morning Starshine" and the like. There were at least four people on my side of the orchestra who must've gotten refunds because they never came back after intermission.

Improv of the night goes to Will, who stole some woman's Twizzlers from the front row and handed them out to the cast.

"And now you get to watch them sing with licorice in their mouth. Watch for the spitting."

I think she knew what would happen only because she gave him money without reservation.

All in all a good show :)

Hi Everyone,
I recently saw HAIR for the first time and I loved it!! The energy from the performers was amazing. The whole cast is so talented beyond words. Will was fantastic as Berger. He had me right when he was introducing himself. Someone came in late and he asked them why they were late. He then said you can call me I always come on time to the theater Berger too funny!! I saw Jay Armstrong Johnson on as Claude and he was great. Since I didnt see Gavin I now have a reason to go back:)

My seats were in the right orchestra and I had such awesome cast interactions. During Hair, Jackie Burns played with my hair and said I have lovely hair. At the beginning of Act II Caissie Levy sat on my lap. She asked if she was hurting me. Then she gave me a hug. The highlight for me was during Electric Blues. Darius took me from my seat and picked me up. Will saw this and came over and started dancing behind me. I dont know how I kept my composure during that.

I had so much fun and I need to go back asap:)

Was Gavin back tonight (7/7) or is he still out from a sore neck?

They said they had RECENTLY seen Hair so I wasn't sure if they meant tonight...I guess I misunderstood it...

I saw the show on Sunday 7/5.

Ok yeah...and kryst22 just told me on another thread that all principals were on tonight. Sweeeeeeeetness!!!

I saw it on 7/5 also. Jay did a phenomenal turn as Claude! Loved his take on the character!
I was in the Boxes and was enthralled watching a special needs audience member in the front row. He was with his parents and obviously knew the music well. He was so filled with Joy during the whole show. At the end his parents helped him stand so he could dance. It actually brought a tear to my eye.

I saw Jay's 2nd performance (after seeing Gavin a week earlier) and he was fantastic. You definitely won't be missing out if you see him.

I need to see this show again.

I'm going for my birthday on Aug. 6. I splurged and bought the premium tickets, not for me, but for my mom. I she loved it (and Will Swenson LOL)when I took her for Mother's day and I know she really wanted to go again. She's been having a really, really rough time lately, and the best birthday present I can get is her having a good time. And I lucked out with Row A seats 107 and 108. So am very, very excited

Jay's on as Claude for the matinee today.

[yay_gerb]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 12:32pm

does anyone know if he's going on tonight too? I hope so I want to see jay go on again.

[AntonEgo]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 12:57pm

He is going on tonight as well.

[dramamama611]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 1:03pm

Snafu: Thanks for posting that touching story!

While I am disappointed to miss Gavin....I'm excited to hear such positive things about Jay. (I'm going during Gavin's vacation.)

Can't wait....missin' me some Hair.

[SNAFU]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 1:08pm

Dramamama, believe me, once Jay steps on stage you will completely forget about Gavin! Both are incredible and both make Claude their own! I wish I had seen Steel go on as Berger.

[RemarkableTimes]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 1:09pm

He'll be going on while Will is on vacation, so that could definitely happen.

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 1:12pm

At this point, I just wanna see the show!!! Gavin or not. Is there a chance that Jay is going to play Claude on tour? (I'm not seeing Hair till it tours).

[dramamama611]

Posted: 7/8/09 at 1:18pm

I think it's WAY too soon for any Tour Cast announcements at this point.


I'm excited to see Jay.....I love understudies...but it's easier to say that when I've been lucky enough to see the originals! (Besides...it gives me a great excuse to see the show again. And Again!)
