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.

It's maybe a just observation, but in Sardinia is unfortunately very difficult to find black actors and singers... thanks for your comments.

This is definitely not how the storyline goes. It's good, but it follows the movie plot. I'm guessing that someone didn't really do their research on the show cuz if they did they would've known that James Rado and Gerome Ragni(the writers of Hair) never approved of the movie.

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!

why does this folow the movie and not the play : (

[macrent2]

It sounds like an "operatic version" not the "stage version"! 

[ChooseCarefully]

What would you have to do to get this crowd on its feet? They laid it down and there they sat. Tough room.

@Withuwwip You are correct, this is the Al Jolson version.

[ricaard]

Really, couldn't find any black singers in Italy??

@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.

@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.

[ClausAngeloh]

the guy playing Berger can't sing :D

@Withuwwip No that;s silly. You're seeing Italians with "black" make up on. This is in Italy and there arn't very many black people in Italy.
