Hair a sensible message followed by a big party
Hair combines fun with common sense, one critic has said.
Thursday, 22 April 2010
Hair has been recommended to London theatre fans by one critic for its exuberant yet sensible plotline.
Tim Baros, writing for Here is the City, said that although the musical is loud and excitable, it also features a serious message about the importance of peace over war.
He praised the cast, which is the same company of actors from the Broadway version, saying they look as though they're having the "time of their lives".
Gavin Creel is also singled out for his sensitive portrayal of the troubled Claude, as is Sasha Allen for her excellent voice during headline song Aquarius.
Mr Baros concluded by calling Hair a "passionate cry for hope and change" and added that he loved the final scene, in which the audience is invited to join the party.
Hair is now showing at the Gielgud Theatre in the West End and will be booking until January 8th 2011.
