HAIR.4.
I saw Hair in the sixties and was very disallusioned by the new Rock musical. It had some good pop songs but was lazily produced onstage with a liberreta that was veering on abysmal. the central reason for people goin to see it was the nude scene at the end of act 1. Things must have changed with the new show straight from America and perhaps it's tighter and more professional. I hope so because it will attract new youth to the musical theatre wondering what us older folks got so excited about which is, I admit, not a bad thing. If you're over 40 buy the CD.
SISTER ACT.6.
Some good reports from this show make me feel it's worth seeing. Critics are not so sure. I have not seen the show and the CD makes me feel it is difficult to make an informed response. The music varies from Disco to Rodgers and Hammenstein if you can imagine such a thing and indeed everybody must have seen the film.....if you havn't then the Musical is a lot of fun. Their aren't many stars fronting musicals these days and I wonder if producers feel it is no longer necessary to lace their shows with a big star. Sister Act has been running for over a year.....How long would it continue to run if the original star....Whoopi Goldberg....was heading it's cast?
JERSEY BOYS.6.
The music of Franki Valli and the Four Seasons is the dominant force of this Musical Biography and if you're not a fan perhaps you could be. Interesting and of it's kind well put together but not a musical that we know and love. Life story of the group with linking hit songs.
