@@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.
I want this musical to come back! We could use it right about now!
That's an insane amount of talent to keep singing like that while running around dancing like crazy and jumping off the stage and not miss a beat
Just a common amount of playback, rather.
Right? I can't even walk and chew gum.
It’s their voices. No playback. @@numberjack2286
I worked on this production, and they were incredibly disciplined. None of the vocals were ever augmented.

After so many years I have never caught that Gavin says "love you" to Anne Hathaway when he runs away form her 😂😍

I wanted this to last forever. I never wanted it to end. AMAZING.
I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times
That makes 2 of us.
@@suecox907 make that three
That Makes 4 !
5 of us!
Make that 6!
Best musical ever! Time for another revival.
Saw Hair for the first time at the Shubert Theater in Chicago back in the 70's. It still holds up.

That breaks the fourth wall.
Good lord that jump 😳. I would have broken both ankles.
Gavin had back surgery in 2018 so hopefully all is well.
I saw this in person at the Palace in Milwaukee, Great memories
I love the pacifist and rebel message from this musical
Love this sond
He's great!
I wish that they put this on DVD or something...
Me too. Many of us can't go to Broadway to see it.
It's widely available in most formats. Even Blu-ray.
@@slcutuswhere. Tell me where. I have been looking for so long
Awesome!!! ☮️👏🙌
Love it ❤
Truly amazing. But the TH-cam screen is spliting.
0:06 0:08 keep your nose snuffles at home 😳🤣
I saw in person twice, What a Treat.
Aweee!!!
I feel like Gavin Creel’s mic stopped working after the first 30 seconds.
I did not notice it.

But I'm follicly challenged.

Wasn't the 60s version obscene?
In the 1960s, that was considered obscene. The lyrics are those from the original 1969(?) soundtrack/musical.
I just read the lyrics Im hairy high and low is the raciest line. So no.

That's probably one of the tamest songs of the musical. lol
They like giving each other awards
That must have been very embarrassing for the audience.
i would be having too much fun to be embarrassed tbh
Embarrassing?? It’s the effin tonys! They were having a god damn blast!! If anyone was embarrassed then they don’t belong at the Tony’s!
And say all the fun they had when the white shirt singer only choose bald men to his performance with public
It must have been a perfect antidote to the stodgy boredom and self-importance of many award shows. 😂
Dude, does it hurt to have such a giant stick up your ass? People were clearly having a blast.
Well, that was pretty vulgar.
Vulgar? That's one of the least "vulgar" songs of that musical. lol
HAH, wait and watch the end of the first act
