Hair 'is infectiously enjoyable'
Hair is a must-see for London theatre fans, according to a critic.
Wednesday, 19 May 2010
Hair has been recommended to London theatre fans by one critic who recently went to see it.
The revival at the Gielgud Theatre was attended by Gerald Berkowitz from Theatre Guide London and his 16-year-old companion, and the former said they both had a ball.
He described the show as "colourful, tuneful, bright, perky and infectiously enjoyable" and said it celebrates the idealism that a generation of young Americans dared to believe in.
Mr Berkowitz added that Hair's excellent execution on the London stage makes it more than just a nostalgic jukebox musical though.
He particularly praised the choreography of Karole Armitage, who manages to make the actions of the cast look random to add to the easygoing feel.
The critic also said he thought hit songs like Good Morning Starshine, Let The Sun Shine In and Aquarius were highlights.
Hair is currently booking in the West End until January 8th 2011.
