End of an Era

[eirenical]

How does one ruin a spectacular show? You send most (but not all) of its cast to another country. Once there, you lose key cast members to other shows. Meanwhile, you replace the beloved original cast with people who may have popular faces, but lack the emotion and genuine connection that the original cast had... and thus lose your audience in the process. What happens then? Both shows flounder and eventually close.

Curtain closes on Hair @ the Gielgud on September 4th.
Curtain closes on Hair @ the Al Hirschfeld on June 27th.

*sob* I... I don't even know what I'm feeling right now. I want my "Hair" back!

*curls up in the corner and cries*

*sigh* I wish I'd known about them soon enough and had the money to be that obsessed. ^_^ Unfortunately, I didn't get introduced to the awesomeness that is Hair until 2-3 months before the cast left. :(

He's one of them, anyway. ^_^ Normally (unless they've changed it :-P) he's one of the two who sings "What a Piece of Work is Man." And I agree -- he is *not* bad to look at, at all. *_*

I've always been a fan of the musical, so I COULD NOT wait when I found out it was coming to London with the Broadway cast!!

OMG though, Steel was ON FIRE last night! I have found a new level of love for him!!! His chemistry with Gavin is brilliant and his singing was SO MUCH better than Tuesday!

Lots of love and hearts for Mr Burkhardt now lol

^_^ Guess it just took him a few days to settle into the role, huh? I'm so happy for him and for you guys who get to continue seeing it! (Even if I am still a little jealous... ^_~)
