"Hair-balls"? Just. No.

And *sigh* I could have been running around the city trying to get tix to see the show today, but I decided to act like an adult and run errands and do chores. And not getting ready to clean out my car. Which should take a long time since it looks like a disaster area.

Off to look at Gavin and Will pictures to cheer me up first!

At least you've gotten to see it with Will and Gavin, Leia. I haven't even seen Hair yet. I've never even seen Will or Gavin live in anything...ever.

We NEED to get you NYC pronto. As in yesterday. Must come up with a plan....

Lol. Leia947 is my theatre mamma, and I love her for it. Seriously, I will sell all of my belongings and ride a cow to NYC if that's what it takes.

You and your cow should stop by my house on the way to pick me up.

^ You got it, chief.
Just out of curiosity, what area do you live in. (I live on the east side of tennessee).

haha West coast so make a giant U-turn and pick me up, then we'll head to NY. Heck! It'll only take a couple months.

Can I just give my love to the HAIR lotto? It's soo much fun! The lotto guy is actually nice and fair and he always gets everyone so excited! My favorite is yelling "They don't need them! WOOOO!"

Jazzy, maybe you can convince your parents to take you like over Christmas break or something...?

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 7/19/09 at 4:27pm

Haha, believe me...I've tried that CS. My parents would gladly take me to NYC if they could (believe me), but we just recently bought a new house so finances are pretty tight. On the other hand, my family's restaurant is opening up this fall. My mom says that when the restaurant makes some money...we MIGHT go to New York (It's a pretty slim chance though). Since that probably won't work out, my parents promised to take me to see the tour in its nearest stop to me. It kills me that I will most probably have to wait 1-2 years to see the show, but it's better than not seeing it at all. I actually have a crap load of money saved up and I was going to use it to go to NYC and stay with my uncle, but my parents were not happy with that idea at all. As much as I would LOVE to see the show with its current principals (Gavin and Will), the chances for that are extremely slim. At this point, it's more important to me that I actually get to SEE the show...if I have to wait 2 years, then so be it. I'd rather wait 2 years rather then never see it at all (if that makes sense). It's so frustrating though, sometimes I wish that I lived in NYC or New Jersey and I could just hop a train and go see it. But instead, I live in this place

Saw the matinee yesterday. I loved it (as usual). I wasn't going to see the show, but I decided to check out Steel!Berger. He was actually pretty good. He really held his own and was able to connect with the audience. He plays the role more mellow than Will, which isn't a bad thing. It is interesting to see a different take on the role. I guess I just prefer the wild quirkiness of Will Swenson.

I had aisle seats in the mezzanine for this performance. I never sat there before, so it was neat seeing the show from a different viewing perspective. (I definitely prefer the orchestra. I thought the leg room in the mezz sucked.) I was able to see everything just fine, except for the first row audience interaction. However, the cast is truly all over that theater. There were a couple times when Gavin Creel was right next to me and I had no idea where he came from. haha Anthony Hollock messed with my hair a bit during the show.


I absolutely love how the cast interacts with the audience (even from the stage). I've seen the show several times and each time it has been slightly different. For example, during Woof's introduction, an audience member shouted his name from the mezzanine. Woof started howling, the audience howled back, back and forth several times, etc. Then he howled, "I love youuuuuuuuuuu!" It was actually pretty funny. Then, when Berger asks for money, the audience member gave him a bottle of Purell!! Steel took the bottle and passed it around the tribe. It was hilarious. I think little unpredictable moments like that really make the show more special. You never know what might happen once the audience is involved.

For those wondering, I was able to make it from the mezz to the stage for the dance party in plenty of time. I got my things ready as soon as the curtain call started. After Gavin came out and the entire cast bowed, I made my way down the balcony steps. I climbed right up on stage and gave Paris Remillard a big hug. LOL I guess I was feeling the love. I'm sure I wasn't the only one. There was lots of hugging on that stage. The cast is so friendly.

^ That's so cool that you were able to hug Pairs!!! I wanna hug everyone in that cast, they're all so loveable.

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 7/19/09 at 8:44pm

I wanna hug everyone too, but I also want to give every cast member a huge smack on the ass.


(maybe more than one smack for Gavin and Will)

[AndAllThatJazz22]

Posted: 7/19/09 at 8:45pm

^ Oh my god CSonBroadway, I almost choked from laughing at that.

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 7/19/09 at 8:47pm

Not kidding though.

[AndAllThatJazz22]

I don't think it's TMI, Jazzy, since I'm sure many of us here feel the same way! **raises hand** I know I do! LMAO


And awww.... I'm your theater mamma!! Love that!

Haha, if the Hair people ever read this thread...they would either be incredibly flatterd or incredibly disturbed.

[CSonBroadway]

Posted: 7/19/09 at 8:54pm

They do get naked in the show.

Why can't we appreciate their bodies?

CSonBroadway should get an award for brilliance.

Has this show turned anyone else into a hippie?

I have started making hippie headbands out of red denim for random friends.
