Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[flippyshark]

Gosh, guess I have to shamefacedly admit that I actually like the movie Hair. It's very eighties and has its flaws, but I think a lot of the performances and numbers are tremendously energetic and most of the songs have terrific arrangements (by the original composer Galt MacDermott, if I recall correctly.) I would certainly never prefer it over a good production of the show, but I can't say I haven't gotten a charge from much of it.

I would love to see the current revival. I have several cast albums, including the groundbreaking original cast, but my favorite thus far may be the Australian 90s revival. Haven't yet checked out the new Broadway cast, but I am certain to purchase sooner or later.
