HAIR~~~RAISING!!!

My parents adored the music from the original Broadway production and went to experience it in San Francisco in the late '60's and it transformed their lives. I grew-up on the soundtrack of HAIR, and I finally had the opportunity to experience it for myself in Reno, Nevada. The production was beyond amazing...the music stupendous, the actors/singers/musicians extraordinary, and I really felt my parent's spirits with me (both are in the "next dimension" now). I have seen more than a few productions on Broadway and in London's West End, and I rate this production amongst this category of incredible MUST SEE shows ever produced for the stage. I left the theatre feeling transformed and HAPPY. A truly natural HIGH, LOL!!! All good!!! ... Read more

Saw this show in Cleveland and the revitalization from the '60's fits back into our current time of war. It's beautiful,heart wrenching, toe tapping, get up and dance fun. This is NOT a show for kids. You must be an opened minded adult to truly enjoy the wonder of this show!!! But the talent that comes with this show will awe you! Enjoy!!!! ... Read more
