Well none of the leads as they will want names. And wouldn’t the tribe be - mostly too old now? Can we get a cameo from Diane Keaton in there somewhere?

They will have to cast every actor from all of my wildest lifetime fantasies to get me interested in a G-rated broadcast of Hair.  Same for Rent.  I already saw this episode of Head of the Class in 1990.

The only cast that would make me interested is the 2009 revival cast.

I don’t care who we get as long as the cast is made up of strong singers.

You'll probably get some pop/RnB singers with iffy acting skills riffing wildly on a Hair Jr. score.  I just can't envision any scenario where this is going to appeal to anyone over, maybe 24?  I'd hate to see what happened to Grease in 1978 happen to Hair and Rent.

Just make it a young cast. As far as the tribe, twenty five or younger. They have plenty of time to find a young energetic talented cast.

Didn’t Elaine Stritch try to shut that production of Hair down?

What about some of the actors from the Hollywood Bowl cast. If Dreamgirls doesn't come in this season I would LOVE to see Amber Riley's Dionne.

YUP, That's the TWO part episode, From Hair to Eternity.

 Where is Stritchy when we REALLY need her?

I'd love to see Sasha Allen return.
