Hair - 2005 - London Fringe History , Info & More

Gate Theatre
11 Pembridge Road London

From its stunning Broadway premiere in 1968, Hair defined the "rock musical," exuberantly celebrating the hippie counterculture, anti-war movement and sexual revolution of the 1960s with a rainbow score of hits - including "Aquarius," "Good Morning Starshine," and "Easy to be Hard" - that have become ingrained in pop culture. Let down your long, beautiful hair, pull out the tie-dye and celebrate this groundbreaking American journey as we "Let the Sunshine In!"



HAIR features a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado and music by Galt MacDermot, and tells the story of a group of young Americans searching for love and peace during the Vietnam era, HAIR is a timeless portrait of a movement that changed the world. Its groundbreaking rock score paved the way for some of the greatest musicals of our time. The 2009 revival, directed by Diane Paulus, won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical. The Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle also honored the production with their 2009 award for Outstanding Revival of a Musical.

BWW Interview: Robert Michael Morris on THE COMEBACK's Comeback
by Courtney Henley - Jul 31, 2015


I'm gonna make this nice and simple: if you're not watching the HBO comedy series THE COMEBACK, you should be. The sitcom stars Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish, a former A-list actress who agrees to document her attempt at rediscovering fame by being the subject of a reality show. It's genuinely hilarious and full of heart – and boasts an extensive list of guest stars, to boot (I'm looking at you, Sean Hayes and Seth Rogen). If you don't believe me, maybe you'll listen to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which just recognized the series with an Emmy nomination for Lisa Kudrow for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

BWW Interview: Tito Schipa jr. ed Ermanno Manzetti parlano dell'uscita del DVD di 'Orfeo 9'
by Francesco Vittorino - May 27, 2015


'ORFEO 9' e un'opera rock scritta e musicata da Tito Schipa jr. ed andata in scena per la prima volta il 23 gennaio del 1970. Si tratta di uno spettacolo che utilizza il mito di Orfeo per descrivere 'l'avventura di questo tormento e rinascita tra il '68 e il 70', per usare le parole dell'autore. L'opera debutta al Sistina all'interno di una rassegna di teatro giovanile organizzata da Garinei e Giovannini, e nel 1973 ne viene fatta una versione cinematografica con i meravigliosi arrangiamenti di Bill Conti. Tra gli interpreti figurano gli allora sconosciuti Renato Zero e Loredana Berte - reduci dalla messa in scena sistiniana di 'Hair' - e Tullio De Piscopo tra i musicisti.
