    I know there are the purists here and I also will say that I have never seen Hair, either the movie or play, so I am not one to judge on the content. However, in terms of this song of which I am an avid fan of (particularly The 5th Dimension version), I enjoyed this performance very much and I think it was very well done.

    For Americans willing to be challenged intellectually and emotionally, we whites and blacks both might see that the black-face is done with total integrity, to represent their story instead of reinventing them as white characters. I have no trouble believing blacks are few to be found in Sardinia, an island, and can't imagine this is overtly racist. How fascinating and what love is shown for the piece, whether you like the movie or not .

    LETRA
    Let The Sunshine In
    Hair
    We starve-look at one another
    Short of breath
    Walking proudly in our winter coats
    Wearing smells from laboratories
    Facing a dying nation
    Of moving paper fantasies
    Listening for the new told lies
    With supreme visions of lonely tunes
    Somewhere
    Inside something there is a rush of greatness
    Who knows what stands in front of our lives
    I fashion my future on films in space
    Silence tells me secretly
    Everything
    Everything
    Manchester England England
    Manchester England England
    (Eyes look your last)
    Across the Atlantic Sea
    (Arms take your last embrace)
    And I'm a genius genius
    (And lips oh you the doors of breath)
    I believe in God
    (Seal with a righteous kiss)
    And I believe that God believes in Claude
    (Seal with a righteous kiss)
    That's me, that's me, that's me
    The rest is silence
    The rest is silence
    The rest is silence
    We starve-look at one another
    Short of breath
    Walking proudly in our winter coats
    Wearing smells from laboratories
    Facing a dying nation
    Of moving paper fantasies
    Listening for the new told lies
    With supreme visions of lonely tunes
    Singing
    Our space songs on a spider web sitar
    Life is around you and in you
    Answer for Timothy Leary, deary
    Let the sunshine
    Let the sunshine in
    The sunshine in
    Let the sunshine
    Let the sunshine in
    The sunshine in
    Let the sunshine
    Let the sunshine in
    The sun shine in..

    This is awesome. Back in the mid 1990's, I was at a theatrical event and Michael Butler - the original producer of HAIR on Broadway - was there. So, of course, I went up to talk with him. I asked him if he had ever thought of doing a revival of HAIR using the film as its base. He said no. I told him it could work really well since it has a structure to it and the stage version is so loose in structure. He told me the play has a firm structure, I just couldn't. We debated back and forth about this - I knew the movie really well but not the stage version. I am glad to see someone took the chance and did it. I would love to see the full version.

  • @oaiturriaga
    @oaiturriaga 12 років тому +2

    @zima04 It's true it follows the movie plot. I usually hate when movie versions of musicals differ from the original, but I think in this case it works perfectly for me. I guess it's because the plot of the movie is more lineal and it's more interesting to follow. Well, that's my opinion, at least.

  • @jfreaney
    @jfreaney 12 років тому

    @ABookwormAndProud That''s standard operating procedure when performing operas and musicals for an audience whose language differs from the language in which the book/libretto is written. Except perhaps at the Metropolitan Opera. I think the rationale is that the audience can still get the "gist" of the singing from the melody, rhythm and rhyme, but the spoken dialogue would be gibberish if not translated.

    In fact, this production is deliberately based mainly on the movie version, a masterpiece of Milos Forman ... with only a few references to the original version.
    I never liked the theatrical version nor the full and original musical arrangements ...
    The authors may not approve, but this was my choice and I must say that I was fully satisfied with the final result!

      I´d love to see it... Actually, I have seen (25x) one production based on the movie and it was amazing. Since then, I have seen three more productions in theatres in the Czech Rep. and in Britain and they were complete disasters from my point of view. But some time ago I heard an interview about the production and it is actually very difficult to get rights to be able to play it. There are more owners and not on good terms, so - very difficult to make an agreement. It was allowed to play for only a year and then it had to finish. Not sure anyone will get rights to play the musical any time soon :(.

I don't think this is a professional production and I am sure that blackfaces weren't for a racism issue but because they wanted to give their best interpretation of the American population during the Vietnam War even if they didn't have black actors.

      This common sense approach to casting literally applies to characters of any non-white ethnicity. Unless a script specifically requires a character to be white for the purpose of the story, an actor of any race can be cast. But you cannot cast an actor of another race if a character is explicitly black, asian, latino, etc.

    Everything about this production is atrocious. If no black actors are available, then you fucking cut the black characters and their songs out. You don't put actors in black face. The same would go for any production in any other country with such an issue. If I'm in Germany doing Miss Saigon and can't get Asian actors, I'm not gonna slap some prosthetic eye lids on them and try to make them look Asian. And mangling the show to force the film's misguided and infantile story onto it is just plain stupid. Not only is it a violation of copyright, but you're destroying a perfect piece in a silly attempt to replicate an inferior duplicate.

      If you do not like it then do not watch it... I have nothing more to say to you, also because your tone overly offensive obviously qualifies you for who you are.

      Antonio Madeddu I don't plan on watching it again. The purpose of having a comments section is for people to voice their opinions after having watched a video. I'm doing just that. Do you even realize that altering the show like this is illegal? The only reason the producers weren't slapped with a gigantic and possibly crippling fine is because this sort of thing is never enforced. Secondly, all opinions are relevant and subjective. They are subjective because they are opinions. That's just the way it works. I'm aggressive because the choices made by this production are offensive on multiple levels. The show sounds great, and while I don't care for the choreography it's not bad.

      Don't be a whiny nit-picking bitch. It was an amazing performance. Do you think when Africans do a musical featuring white people, they cut out all whitey's songs?

      That's an entirely different matter. This is literally just fucking racism.

    Using white actors in blackface in this, of all productions, is not only ignorant, but deeply offensive and the complete opposite of the message of this show! It also shows a profound ignorance of the history of the American musical.
    Can't find black actors in Sardinia? Bullshit! Ever hear of airplanes in Sardinia?? Fly some in!!
    On every level, this production fails miserably. I feel sorry for the actors and am sad for the uninformed audience. Broadway audiences would destroy this garbage!!

    anyone who thinks black face for actors isn’t racist... i suggest watching “broadway the american musical” to get a more complete understanding of the history of black face on stage and in minstrel shows and to understand how deeply rooted in hate and racism black face is. i can understand a lack of black actors, i can’t understand black face and ignoring the racist history of the practice.

    As one of the black community I find this use of black face completely offensive and disappointing. Why couldn't you just fly in black actors from other countries?

      I’m sure that was in the budget. Right after the unicorns and the cameo from Mr. Spock.

    Why they were not used black singers? Blacks do not hesitate in Italy? So why not just use white singers? The makeup of this fake and does not combine with Hair. The musical part is great, sorry for the comments.
