An Up-Do for ‘Hair’
I always say you have to work with people from where they are; the producers of the Broadway revival of “Hair” are doing just that.
Nightly, the cast invites the audience to participate in ‘dance parties’ with them on stage… as interactive a show as it is, that might sound like they’re really making a huge connection, but it’s what they’re doing to take it one step further that’s amazing.
According to the Times, audience members can now find videos of themselves posted on Facebook, and tag themselves on the video… So everyone’s Facebook friends can see them on stage, getting down and funky.
And as the saying goes, “Seeing is believing.”
…just another way of keeping a revival relevant for our times.
