[Mb-hair] HAIR at The Lyceum Space Theatre in San Diego.

[richard haase]

as i said to rado
i personally have never seen a bad production of HAIR
the only production i would classify as bad
in my subjective opinion
was the film
which i really felt was horribly off the mark
( my subjective opinion )
but ive never seen a bad production onstage
