"Although some say that Hair is seriously dated, I cannot believe that. The energy still mesmerizes and the messages still ring true today."
Much better than Broadway, but I miss "Don't Put It Down"

"Although the content is different from the Broadway show,the actual singing,musicians,and recording are superior! Although I sorely miss "Don't Put It Down".(i'm falling thru a hole in the flag....)"
Amazing!

"This album is becoming a favorite of mine at record speed. Not only do I absolutely love the movie, but the music is spectacular. I got my whole family addicted to the movie & the soundtrack, but who could blame me (or them)?? It's irresistable! The cast is fantastic, I don't even think I could pick a favorite song. If you want a musical that lightens your spirit, touches your heart, and gives you great music to cruise on the road to... this is for you."
Read your Shakespeare

"To the music fan from Minnesota: the "lyrics" are from Shakespeare. It probably helps to note that the writers of "Hair" also wrote a musical based on Shakespeare's "Two Gentlemen From Verona." They were well-versed, so to speak.Unlike the reviewer from Videohound's Soundtracks, I actually like this album, just as I like the movie. Twyla Tharp's choreography is stunning, and Treat Williams, John Savage (John Savage can sing? Who knew?), Beverly D'Angelo and the others are quite delightful. Milos Forman is a superb filmmaker, but I think (sadly) musicals have somehow gone out of style, and it takes a brave director to tackle one (witness Alan Parker's EVITA)."
Some Great Early Starts!

"One of the only Broadway shows that turned out to be a better movie! One sees the early years of such stars as Treat Williams, Beverly DiAngelo, and Nell Carter. A phenominal array of some of the best songs from the disjointed play."
