Why I love Hair so much!

I have seen Hair three times, once in previews from the 6th. row center, once in the front row on the aisle A101, and once from the balcony, front row.

Since the first time, I can't explain why I love the show so much. Each time it's like having a party with friends. I don't want to ruin the experience so I won't go into details but you are not just seeing the show, you are part of the show. Make sure that you go onstage at the end of the show with the cast, it's an unbelievable experience. Two of the cast members put their arm around me and started singing and dancing with me. It's leaves you on such a positive high. When I was in the balcony, Gavin Creel who plays Claude was in the balcony encouraging people to go downstairs to be on the stage at the end of the show. I recently saw Mamma Mia and it was good but it was not Hair. I have tickets again for next Wed night and can't wait to see it again, especially after listening to the CD.

Or utter and intense joy and beauty.

The best show on Broadway right now and, the more I think about it, probably one of the best experiences I've ever had in a theater.

I love this current production so much...brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Then you definitely need to obtain a copy of the book LETTING DOWN MY HAIR: Two Years with the Love Rock Tribe--from Dawning to Downing of Aquarius, written by original cast member (both on & Off-Broadway incarnations) of HAIR: Lorrie Davis (with Rachel Gallagher). It was published in 1973 and of course... it is out-of-print but by no means hard-to-get/find. Its one fascinating book and she chronicles the entire creation and development of the original production, from its casting, rehearsals, Ed Sullivan Show appearance to just about everything HAIR.

I've never heard of that book before, thank you.

I'm also a Hair fan.

How much would I pay to have seen Diane Keaton as Sheila when she took over the role? Wow. To have been around back then.
