    The thing about the original cast was they, along with the rest of us, were really living the reality of what was happening. It was a play in real time. The passion was extraordinary.
    I was at Woodstock and after the rain stopped, every one began singing "Let The Sun Shine." As if on cue helicopters began to fly over us. We were freaked out. Thats' when they dropped the flowers on us. Thousands of dandelions. It was no longer a concert but a spiritual experience . People fell to the ground and called out their names. What a time.
    Love this song for obvious reasons.

    At Woodstock, after the rain, helicopters began to buzz the concert. At first, people thought they were military, and trouble was about to brew. But then, instead of bullets, flowers came floating down on the crowd. People fell to thier knees, called out thier names, and on some mystical que 400,000 "kids" many of whom were to be drafted sang this song. I don't know if it's in the movie-but it happened.

    As a ten year veteran whose seen the "Ugly" I always find it difficult to listen to this musical even though it's my favorite. The voices of these performers in amazing. I wish I could see it live but I would probably wind up in therapy afterwards. Great work.

    I just ended a production of Hair, and every time we sang this I cried so hard, I love it so much, it was literally the most life changing show I have done.

      She was wonderful...but for the Finale she had great support from Sasha, Kacie Sheik and Jackie Burns, who all belted those notes.

    I saw this back in June 2009, with this cast. I knew absolutely nothing about Hair, save a couple songs.
    My life has never been the same. The world actually LOOKS DIFFERENT now that I experienced Hair

    Had the good fortune of seeing the original off Broadway performance of this play when I was living in Miami at the tender age of 8. The film by the same name was awful.
    This recent performance captured the spirit and intensity of the play. Had to hold back the tears and felt tingling up and down my spine while watching and listening to this...

      The original Broadway recording is the earliest record I can recall ever hearing. My dad gave it to my mom in the '60s. I still find many of the songs very moving. Oddly, though, I've only ever seen the movie.

    This has to be one of the best musical songs and finales ever, even if it makes me cry when I watch! Claude's so sweet, I wish he didn't die. :(

  • @christopher242424

    So incredible! Even after this so powerful rendition of The Flesh Failures by Gavin Creel that brings tears to our eyes, we keep on listening for the new-told lies.

  • @Hunter93E
    @Hunter93E 14 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The very end of this play never fails to leave me bawling my eyes out. Claude's body lying on the American flag to me symbolizes the death of all the hopes and dreams of the hippie movement. It was both very sad but also in a strange way very beautiful to see.

  • @eslomovits
    @eslomovits 11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I so wish I could have seen this particular cast do the revival. Gavin Creel is a GENIUS!!!!!!! And Will Swenson and Cassie Leavy sound like they were wonderful too! Such a powerful show!

  • @starkittenx3
    @starkittenx3 12 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I am so glad that I had the opportunity to see this on stage! to be there.
    I understood. Everything the play was about. This is amazing.
    Thank you, Hair. Thank you, Mr. Creel.

  • @meangirl714
    @meangirl714 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Seeing this scene in person you literally feel the emotion. I saw Gavin’s understudy but he was still showing the emotion. It hit home for me because at the time my brother was deployed and during the finale when they let everyone one stage Cassie and the understudy saw I was just crying and Cassie (Sheila) and the U/S gave me the biggest hug. I wish this show was back because not only was this musical amazing, they get you involved and make it like you’re there.

  • @tb30486
    @tb30486 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Don't shed tears...the hopes and dreams of the hippie movement are not dead at all. The road is crooked and, at times, darkness seems to dominate. Still, we humans are destined to grow toward the light. In spite of the insanity of despots, we cannot escape the compelling need to "let the sunshine in". It might not happen today or tomorrow or next year, but someday we will prevail. In the meantime, please realize that you are not alone...I, and so many more, stand by your side. With love..

  • @lesmiserablesgeek
    @lesmiserablesgeek 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I would do anything to see this show I haven't seen it but I downloaded the soundtrack. I would love to play Sheila because of easy to be hard. This video was the reason I became a total hippie at heart. I love everything hair stands for! This song is one of the best.

    My only complaint is I kinda wish the audience didn't continue to clap when the music stops. That ending is MUCH more powerful with just the voices.

    I saw the show March 6. When I heard they were going to London I had to see Will Swenson and Gavin Creel. I didn't want to see anyone else playing the roles of Berger and Claude. I was so moved beyond belief. The whole entire cast was fantastic, true professionals. I wish I could see them again. Will left the show in May and Gavin is leaving Sept 1. So BUMMED.

    he was a pretty amazing claude - i saw both him and his understudy, and maybe its not for everyone's tastes, but Gavin Creel definitely lived the part really well, so riveting and his acting was superb... not sure this video does him justice.

    The new cast is excellent from what I can tell. It's hard to hear them over the band. Not just in this live recording but even in the soundtrack cd. Was the arrangement different?
    Anyway, this scene had me bawling until my eyes hurt. The emotion is just too intense!

  • @Tritic20
    @Tritic20 12 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My biggest regret now being seeing West Side Story instead of this. This whole scene was absolutely chilling and I don't usually cry in the theatre, I especially don't cry when it's a video, but somehow it happened.

  • @lelouche93
    @lelouche93 13 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    To those of you who are confused, Hair is a musical about the Tribe, a group of hippies living in the city during the Vietnam war. Claude (in the uniform) gets drafted, and this scene is after he's killed in the war. It's a huge political message. If you've never seen it, I would suggest both seeing it live and the movie version, since they're different.

    I've seen the show 3 times since it opened in 2009. Once with the OBC, the last 2 with the new tribe. (twice in the past 3 weeks) This is probably the most powerful ending to a show ever performed on a stage, imho. I remember when I saw the OBC, I was not expecting this ending so I bawled. I don't like that the audience clapped. It kind of ruined the ending. Everytime I've seen it, everyone was dead silent & letting the tribe's voices & the scene make its impact. Love this show!

    Spoiler alert if you haven't see the musical for sure. I saw it in my home town of Milwaukee, WI. last year at the Skylight Theater. Anyway as said as the ending is, it's a great message of anti war. Having said that I'm grateful for our military, I do admire them sacrificing their lives for us.

    • @TheInnerParty
      @TheInnerParty 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There sacrifice was for NOTHING. My dad spent three tours in that stupid war, and he died right after coming home the last time.... I want my three years back with him. Fuck the government. And I don't admire them, I am ashamed of them. The real heroes who "sacrificed" fucked up their lives -- skin in the game -- by refusing to be forced to kill.
