BWW Reviews: HAIR's Got Life--And Good Times, Man!
by Michael L. Quintos - January 27, 2011
Despite a subdued O.C. audience, this spiritually buoyant new touring production of the 2009 Tony Award-winner for Best Musical revival, HAIR: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical still revels in its naughty, raucous fun and its sonically adventurous songs. A delightful hybrid of vaudeville high-jinks, rock concert, art house exhibition, and curiosity theater, this genuinely entertaining show rightly focuses less on its unstructured storyline, but more in its likable cast of characters and the celebratory, almost party-like atmosphere they share with us through music. The tour is currently taking up residence at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa through February 6.
