WHAT A SHOW!

I saw the show in New York last year and want to see it again in London. This is something you've got to experience! I had my 15 year old daughter with me who keeps listening to Hair CD over and over again. So it's not just me who lived in the seventies and loved the music, but also the younger generation. The cast was awesome, so professional and what I especially loved was the interaction with the audience. Never experienced anything like that before. So everybody: go and see it!!

LET THE SUN SHINE IN!

Last summer 2009 at the end of my four week summer vacation I went to see 'Hair' on Broadway - it just uplifted me so much bringing back memories of melodies and refrains from the late sixties and early seventies. This musical has a powerful social message that is as important today as it was when it first played. It also documents the true meaning behind the movement of people who wanted to promote 'love-peace- freedom' and how they changed the politics of living and seeing life in an alternative perspective. The audience participation will take you by surprise, and the passion of all the cast members almost appears as if you are reliving the actual period that the musical is set in. I was surprised when certain songs played, as I did not know they originated from this musical. What is uncanny is that after seeing "Hair' in New York, I wished that the entire cast could come over to London so that my friends could witness the emotions I felt last summer - well my dream has come true!

JUST SIMPLY AMAZING!

I saw this show back in February in NYC and it was fantastic. I took my two children ages 14 and 10 and they also loved it.We had great seats and could see everything perfectly. This show will definately put you in a great mood and you'll have the songs stuck in your head! This is a must see musical!

HAIR

I saw Hair in New York in March 2009. Out of the 20 odd shows I have seen over the years, it was probably the best. The cast was superb. I still rate it most fantastic musical ever. Long may it reign. GO and experience something different. It changed my life

SENSATIONAL

I have just seen the first night of Hair in London. It was vibrant, uplifting, empowering, everything you would want from a musical. The cast and band were superb. It was a brilliant evening. I sat next to someone who had missed it the very first time around and he was mesmerised and said he would go again. I also, will be going again - and again whilst the US cast are here, and probably again, and again when he UK cast takes over. This show gets under your skin and deep into your soul. Try it you won't be disappointed.

THE SUN SHONE

The Show won me over in the first minute. The cast have a energy that filled the theatre with atomosphere and passion right from curtain up. The production has wit and charm. The audience ranged from groups of teenagers to grandparents. Last time Hair was in the West End it nearly brought the theatre down, on last night's performance it will keep the West End vibrant for many many nights. It is almost impossible not to laugh cry and dance. The shows themes are alarmingly contemporary , yet it uplifts and inspires. The best show I have seen since... Hair

ABUNDANT ENERGY

I saw this show before in 1968 in London and it was amazing to see it again. They had not changed or spoilt it - it had just the same energy and impact the second time around. Of course the message was now historical rather than present, but the abundant youth and enthusiasm was wonderful to behold. The audience was beaten into submission and the standing ovation showed that the impact was still there. And the average age of the audience was much lower than in my other recent visits to the theatre - this was a real surprise to me, and an indication that this is a new play to most people. Amazing!
