So I saw that Megan went on for Kacie last night and Jackie on for the other Caissie. Any reviews on either...especially for Megan because it was her first time as Jeannie.
I was there yesterday and loved Megan in the role! In fact, I think I liked her performance better.
I enjoyed the strength of her singing.
Great show and energy yesterday!

Congratulations to Megan! Why was Kacie out, did it have anything to do with an injury. Either way I hope she recovers from whatever she has soon! (She could have just taken the day off, though).
I feel sorry for whomever replaces Alison. Can you imagine replacing someone in a role that caused a girl to get an injury that required serious surgery? They really need to kick it down a notch, it's getting dangerous.
I saw the director in the audience yesterday.
My hope is that they are getting some direction to tighten up the performance and tone down the 'silliness'.
Not just because of all of the injuries, but because the atmosphere was getting a little out-of-control.
There were a number of replacements yesterday.

Do you happen to recall who else was on??? And who all did "Black Boys"?
I wish Allison a speedy recovery, but I'm one of the few here who found her performance bordering on obnoxiousness.

Briana, Hannah and Lauren sang "Black Boys" yesterday since the entire Black Boys trio was on in featured roles.

Hopefully it was not injuries that caused their absence. It was the start of Yom Kippur so maybe that is why took off.

I thought they were called "Tribe Members" not "Hairs".
Good morning Starshines!
I know it's not confirmed until there's a press release, blah blah blah, but according to Dani Spieler's twitter, Vanessa Ray will be stepping in for Chrissy. Hey, if FOX news can use Twitter as a source, why can't I?
Also, don't ask if I know when or if Allison's permanently gone. Tweets can only be 140 characters.

I think I prefer "Hairs" to "Tribe Members," which, let's be honest, is a little affected.
Two of my favorite Hairs include Gavin and Will.
Yeah, Hair is too anti-establishment to have their cast members called, you know, cast members. In fact, everyone involved in the production should have nicknames. Then everyone will see how edgy and free-spirited this fanbase is. The box office people can be called The Man, because they have all the power and drag me down when they say no standing room tickets that day.
So if a Hair leaves the show to do something else, do they become Split Ends?
I think they should be called Dead Ends, and at their final show, the cast can sing the song that was cut from this production.

My least favorite Hairs.
Ehh I kinda like tribe members over hairs but split ends is hysterical... as for the box office people being the man, it's perfect

FindingNamo, your picture for 'My Lest Favorite Hairs' isn't showing up.
I'm morbidly curious...could you get them working?
The Ted Neelys of the tribe who overstay their welcome and hang around the show for years collecting paychecks for increasingly tired performances can be called Ingrown Hairs.
I posted this in the Will love thread. I thought I would share here as well.
