The Public Theater is having a 40 year anniversary of one of my favorite shows.
HAIR. I hope it is better than the Off Broadway production currently playing at Theatre Row. I went to the opening night of that production and it was not good!
HAIR is meant to be performed by talented singers. Hope the production at the Public is better.
