Am 25. Februar feierte das Gartnerplatztheater Munchen mit Galt MacDermots Rock Musical HAIR Premiere in der Reithalle. In keinem Musical wurden die Ideale der Hippie-Generation so auf den Punkt gebracht wie in diesem Broadway-Hit von 1967. 47 Jahre nach der skandalumwitterten deutschen Erstauffuhrung im Oktober 1968 im Munchner Theater in der Brienner Straße ist das Hippie-Happening jetzt wieder in Munchen zu erleben - mit der großartigen Rockmusik von damals, neu in Szene gesetzt von Gil Mehmert und Melissa King.  Das Publikum bei der Premiere war euphorisch, und wegen der extrem großen Nachfrage wurde inzwischen noch eine Zusatzvorstellung anberaumt. Vorstellungen laufen noch bis 17 Marz, mit der Sondervorstellung am 12 Marz. Die Presse zeigte sich ahnlich begeistert von diesem betagten amerikanischen Klassiker, der heute wieder erschreckend aktuell ist. Das hatten die Kritiker zu sagen:

HAIR ist anders. HAIR ist das Lebensgefuhl der Peace-Generation. HAIR ist Rebellion gegen das Establishment. HAIR ist freie Liebe. HAIR ist Drogenrausch. HAIR ist Auflehnung gegen den Krieg. HAIR ist Flower-Power. HAIR - das ist das 'American Tribal Love Rock Musical' mit Songs wie 'Aquarius', 'Good Morning, Starshine' und 'Let The Sunshine In', die langst zu Welthits geworden sind. Am Gartnerplatztheater Munchen fand am vergangenen Donnerstag die Premiere von HAIR in der Reithalle statt. Auf der Buhne stehen unter anderem Dominik Hees, Bettina Monch, David Jakobs und Christina Patten. Wir haben hier einige Fotos der brandneuen Produktion, die einen authentischen Blick zuruck in die 60iger Jahre wirft:

Sometimes it seems there is so much theater happening that it's difficult to keep track of it all. From personal experience, despite all the datebooks, smart phones, tablets, desktop computers and laptops...it's hard to keep everything straight in this wacky business of the show.
