@@numberjack2286 lol They don't use playback in stage musicals, wtf! A friend of mine plays piano/keyboard in musical productions in Germany (Les Miserables, Starlight Express, Phantom of the Opera, Cats etc.) and there is no ficking playback. If you can't sing while dancing (or fighting or rollerskating) then you are not suitable to perform in musicals. Besides, they do this on stage every night without playback and interact with the audience so why would they use playback in this case?
I'm 76. The lyrics were saying what we meant, that if you can see my eyes, then my hair's too short, but nobody on stage had hair covering their eyes!! My mom would say that I couldn't see, and I would say I could through the slits! We didn't want our parents to see our eyes.
Got to see it in 2010, and it was so much FUN. It was so energetic, the cast interacted with the audience. I have been to Mamma Mia, Jersey Boys, and Hamilton, all were good, but Hair was the BEST
I know this is a year late, but he sings the lower harmony and is harder to just hear. I feel like Gavin’s voice shines when he sings in the upper part of his register, but this is still such a fun song.
@@ziggyd93Literally I still wonder about that to this day. Why does Gavin, a literal tenor, sings the low harmony while Will Swenson, a literal baritone, sings the high harmony! Not that baritones can't sing high or tenors can't sing low, but It was just weird, and the high harmony would suit gavin's voice and vice versa for will. There's a performance where Gavin sings the high harmony and will sings the low harmony that was done a few years ago.
There's a bunch of different versions of Hair if you're talking about the play. The song itself is pretty tame and there's far worse songs in the play. The 60s version had more rape. I mean, in the original script on of the main characters rapes one of the other main characters and laughs about it within in the first 5 minutes after the opening song. Most versions of have a nude scene after the first act. Some versions (like high school and a lot of community theater) replace the nude scene with either them in their underwear or swimsuits or just in shadow. Some versions even have the cast running naked through the audience.
Lol, they‘re naked on stage at a certain point. That was obscene in the 1960s. When I watched hair as a child in the early 90ies that was a bit much for me 😂😂😂 I was a fan nonetheless…..as a teen when they were close to my boardingschool we would go to all shows they did in the area…..we‘d leave our seats and sit in front of the stage, smoke weed with the performers, we were dressed as hippies ourselves and would go WILD during the show….😂 I LOVE HAIR…..oh, there are many scandalous songs….also a transvestite (not transgender) that scene is hilarious….. imagine that in the 60ies, of course the „adults“ found it obscene !
