Review in AM New York

We're back, and we've been extended! But in the meantime, check out HAIR's first-run review, from AM New York critic Matt Windman:

"...as for HAIR, I saw this weekend long non-Equity revival at the Neighborhood Playhouse on 54th Street, where I had never been before. The cast was made up primarily of Neighborhood Playhouse students and alumni. Since they did not cut a single number from the score - they even did "Dead End" and "The Bed" - it ran three hours. Luckily, it was a very good production. And the more I think about it, it was eerily authentic. Why? Because HAIR is not meant to be a polished show. It's supposed to be a happening, an Off-Off-Broadway piece of alternative theater, though once on Broadway. Here was a production in a small intimate space, where most of the cast was not vocally outstanding, but totally committed physically and dramatically. It is this kind of authenticity that professional concert productions of HAIR - Actors Fund, Encores - all lack" (July 1st, 2007)
