Another new interview with Sasha from Playbill.com. On the second page she mentions she has a year contract with the show and will hopefully stay on longer. DIVA TALK with Sasha Allen

"Theo Stockman was supposed to return to Hair in November after the run of American Idiot. Now, however, it's looking very likely that AI will extend its run in Berkeley, and there's a pretty strong possibility that he may not return after all. Nothing has been officially decided, though, and it all really depends on what happens with AI."
This is what I figured. Although I definitely will miss him in Hair, I'm happy Theo Stockman has such a great opportunity in doing AI. His role in the AI ensemble is very prominent and sizable, and there is no doubt in my mind that the show is Broadway bound, whether it be this season or next.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."
I think MOST of them have year contracts, which is standard. Gavin, being the most experienced, was smart enought to have a shorter contract so that he could renegotiate a raise sooner....which backs up the talk about the producers only offering scale minimum.

Oh yes. I mean obviously I love Theo and his purple jacket, but any Theo is good for me. :) And I've always been a huge Green Day fan, so I'd want to see this under really any circumstances.
Because I look different you think I'm subversive.
my boyfriend and I ended up going to the Barnes and Noble event before seeing Hair last night and I'm really glad we went (thanks for convincing me! haha). We were standing outside of the room, right against the cash register, I was wearing a brown tank top next to my boyfriend who was in blue plaid shorts...if any of you guys were out there too :P It was really great hearing a lot of the background info during the interview part and then the performances were awesome.
As for last night's show...jesus christ freaking amazingly stupendously awesometastic. I've never had such an experience at the theater than I did last night. Swenson was on fire and I absolutely loved Paris as Claude! I bought tickets for last night knowing that Gavin would be back from vacation and I was a little bummed when I heard about his ankle but man, I absolutely loved Paris. I got a couple of pats on the head from Caissie Levy throughout the show too! The dancing on stage at the end was so much fun! We'll definitely be going back in the fall :)
This may sound a bit strange, but did anyone else feel that Hannah Shankman looks a bit out of place? There's no doubt that she's extremely talented and everything, but I just felt that she didnt blend in as well with the rest of the cast
