I stalked his youtube videos like 5 years ago when he was at NYU steinhardt with my friend. i loved him then and its unbelievable to me that he's doing all of this now :) love love love
His voice is so amazingly stunning. I saw him in June, he was playing the role of Woof.. i loved how playful he was with his role.. he even came and gave me a hug during the performance.. i waited after the show to thank him! haha
I love Gavin Creel, but this guy is amazing, first time I hear of him. Is he with the old tribe of Hair, that's currently in London or is he with the new tribe, the current guy playing Claude needs alot of improvement. This guy would be perfect.
i saw him play Claude and omg i was in aw!!!! he did amazing. his hair when he is the soldier looks so much better then the afro but he is amazing!!!!
It's really nice to hear a more Baritone sound for Claude as opposed to Gavin's lighter tone. They are both incredible and I'd be happy to see either one.
Jay Jay its Alex Carson from kwc you doing your thing brother keep it going God has put his hand on you brother keep up the good work and myabe one day ill be up there with you AC
I know him! He used to do Kids Who Care in fort worth texas and that's how he got his start. I'm in it now and we did godspell last summer and he came and did a workshop with us. Awesome dude.
I saw him in Hair yesterday and in the beginning he had the wig on but then when he was in the army I thought that was his real hair so when he came out to bow I didn't know why his hair was so curly
wow hes really really amazing! ive seen hair three times with no understudies and its really nice to know that the understudies are really just as good! i recognize this guy as a member of the tribe :)

I would KILL to hear his Santa Fe from the recent Newsies reading he did for Jack Kelly, I bet it was AMAZING
Don't get me wrong, I love Christian Bale, but I'm curious to hear Jay's(a MUCH MORE talented singer) version of Jack Kelly.

He was in the old tribe, but also in the new one, because he was one of the persons that decided to stay on Broadway.

Wow. While I think Gavin is brilliant, Jay seems to be more frightened and brings an uncertainty to Claude. I'd LOVE to see him in the role.

@naTAlie56rOsE They have it combed over and gelled up, and when he runs off before curtain call, they brush it out really quickly, and make it poofy.

Yes he is.
I saw his 2nd performance, and he was great so if he is on the board don't be disappointed.

I'm a litle confused... did Jay Johnson wear a "short hair" wig for the in-uniform bit, where he needs army-regulation short hair?
jemb2000 2 years ago
If I remember correctly--yes he did wear a short hair wig after the long wig.
abbie8908 2 years ago
Thanks. The wig-makers of New York must be quids-in with Hair back on Broadway ;)
jemb2000 2 years ago
actually, a quite a few cast members wear their own hair. I'd say they probably have fewer wigs than a lot of other B'way shows!
