Musical Review (1)


Summary: Just in time to usher in the dawning of a new age in America, The Public Theater’s joyous production of HAIR comes to Broadway. A celebration of life, a love letter to freedom, and a passionate cry for hope and change, HAIR features some of the greatest songs ever written for the stage. Welcome to the curly, shaggy, gleaming, streaming, wonderful world of HAIR.


Review: It will be a rare thing when I review a musical or a show, but I was in NYC recently and saw an amazing show so I had to review it. 
Hair is a musical about kids growing up in the 60's. The age of drugs and the draft. Most of the show they are "high" and are seeing things. One of the members of "the tribe" Claude gets called up to the Draft and we see that it changes his way of thinking. The majority of the original Cast was in the performance that I saw, and they were absolutely incredible! 
The music is upbeat and fun, and the acting is amazing, the lighting was bright, and colorful and the ending moved me to tears. I have never felt this way about a show, and was surprised when my eyes were overwhelmed with tears. If you enjoy musicals, and any coming-of-age story you will love Hair. I give this a rating of 9/10!!
