Album Description
HAIR, featuring book and lyrics by the late Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot, opened to rave reviews on Broadway March 31, 2009 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Under the direction of Diane Paulus, Hair arrives on Broadway after a run as part of the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park 2008. The cast of the Broadway revival of Hair features Will Swenson as Berger, Tony nominee Gavin Creel as Claude, Sasha Allen as Dionne, Caissie Levy as Sheila, Allison Case as Crissy, Kacie Sheik as Jeanie, Bryce Ryness as Woof, Darius Nichols as Hud, Megan Lawrence as Mother and Andrew Kober as Margaret Mead/Dad. With a score including such enduring musical numbers as "Let the Sun Shine In," "Aquarius," "Hair" and "Good Morning Starshine," Hair depicts the birth of a cultural movement in the `60s and `70s that changed America forever: the musical follows a group of hopeful, free-spirited young people who advocate a lifestyle of pacifism and free-love in a society riddled with intolerance and brutality during the Vietnam War. As they explore sexual identity, challenge racism, experiment with drugs and burn draft cards, the "tribe" in Hair creates an irresistible message of hope, peace and change that continues to resonate with audiences 40 years later.

I can not get enough of this CD. The feelings evoked are amazing!I was at gym earlier today and was feeling a bit tired. Decided to listen on i-pod and had an awesome work out. Kinda rock, spiritual and soulful as well.

I would just like to say that I was very disappointed with this recording. The performances are too polished and the cast is trying to hard to recreate the original production. The original 1967 cast album is much better in the sense that is has an edge to it, and it is a little "gritty". One would be better off purchasing the original cast recording from 1967, it is much more enjoyable.

I love singing along with (most of) these songs! by Bronwyn Allen

After seeing Hair on Broadway in April, I couldn't wait for the official recording to come out. Listening to this CD takes me back to that fun, moving, memorable night in the theatre. I love singing along with (most of) these songs!

Was glad to have this CD before going to NY to see the play "Hair". Really brought back memories of our younger days!

Not as good as in person by Karen S. (New York)

I saw the Broadway show from which this CD has been made and loved both the show and the music. While the recording is fun, it does not have even a little of the energy and spark that the score conveyed in person. Disappointing in comparison.
