>> Great luck, I went down to see it as Geoffrey Going, twice in HAIR, agreed
>> to go. So I had someone to share the drive.
>> We arrived late being lost in the maze of the shopping center with the
> worst
>> signage ever.
>> I did not want to be taken to a front row seat (something I really don¹t
>> like anyway) so I wound up sitting on the steps. Great memories of the
>> Biltmore where that was my favorite spot.
>> I am sure glad we went. It was a great show! Very true to the book and
>> music. The staging was very different in many scenes. Duane Daniels, the
>> Director, had never seen HAIR so he was completely on his own. He came up
>> with some novel solutions. If I could criticize anything some scenes would
>> be slightly over produced. Notwithstanding that mention I really enjoyed
>> them and the audience was wild with appreciation. Voices were very good
> and
>> a very attractive tribe.
>> For sure all involved really had the message of HAIR. It is great to see
>> these small local productions when they are good. They are such believers
>> and give us real hope.
>> This is the second local production (Asheville) I have seen this month and
>> both were worth effort. Shame they are not going on.
>> Peace and Love,
>> Michael
