I'd like to know as well.
Also LOL FOREVER at Emma Zaks. And I'm curious to see how Annaleigh Ashford does as Jeannie.

Posted: 2/16/10 at 4:31pmAm I the only one who thinks it's odd that Jay is still a swing even though he's been with the show for a while? I mean, I know it's not about timing but...am I making any sense?

Posted: 2/16/10 at 4:30pmAlso, is it true Ace Young doesn't want to go nude? I couldn't care less about seeing him in the flesh, but if Berger doesn't get naked it would just seem off. Updated On: 2/16/10 at 04:30 PM

Posted: 2/16/10 at 4:36pmI googled some of these people to see who might've been cast from the open call. Cailan Rose was apparently Tam in Miss Saigon and her resume says she's a member of Equity.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

No clue if it's true but it would seem off. Same thing if Diana/Sheila wouldn't go nude.
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

The article here on BWW also has the cast bios.
I've heard that Ace Young is a really nice guy but his bio is embarrassing. He made love to the entire world? Gag me.
Ace Young (Berger) has made love to the entire world and is bringing free love, drugs, and rock n' roll back. This Scorpio male has piercing green eyes and wavy locks and knows how to use them. The youngest of 5 boys this Grammy-nominated groovy cat loves to fight the system and take a stand for what is right. As one of the most recognizable males in American Idol history this entertainer has truly done everything from his guest starring role on FOX's BONES, Co-Hosting American Idol Extra alongside Jillian Barbarie-Reynolds, Co-Producing his self titled album, "Ace Young", and Executive Producing his and other artists upcoming records. Working with Hollywood, New York, and the world's best, ACE is riding high on his crazy crazy trip.

Posted: 2/16/10 at 9:56pmIf shows actually gave two twigs about their replacement casts (the way this production of HAIR does), then shows would continue to have an interest from the community. I think it is rather important for productions to continue announcing and causing hype about the new interpretations in the wings. I think it's rather sad people write off replacements as not needing a press conference...particularly in this case when a new company is coming in.
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Posted: 2/16/10 at 10:44pmSnore. Some nice voices. As handsome as Ace is, there's nothing behind those eyes.
#63New HAIR Broadway Cast to Be Announced on Tuesday

I'm content with the casting, since all of them actually are young. Especially Kyle as Claude! I have never met an actor so gracious, and he actually is pretty great with his fans.
The most humble actor I've met hands down. Very down to earth.

Posted: 2/17/10 at 2:24amBased on that interview, both Ace and Diana are going to do the nude scene. In fact they both seem pretty nonchalant about it.
#69New HAIR Broadway Cast to Be Announced on Tuesday
Posted: 2/17/10 at 2:41amI cringe to think of what the tweens that follow Ace will do at the end of Act I.

Posted: 2/17/10 at 3:41amWell there go our doubts about them doing it. I had a feeling Diana would, but I'm surprised by Ace.

Posted: 2/17/10 at 7:24amYes a Few Non Equity perfomers did make it into the New Cast of HAIR. One of the performers is Mykal Kilgore. Look out he Awesome. Billy Porter crowned him Broadways New Belter.. The Guy has definatly got the chops. I saw him perform with The Broadway Boys just a few nights ago.
There is nothing in the world better than Live Theater.

Mildred...I'm not too sure if its the tweens that are the problem. It's the middle aged women that we're gonna have to watch out for

Posted: 2/17/10 at 9:01pmExcuse my naiveté, but the last time I saw “Hair” the stage was so dimly lit that you could not tell who was naked and who was not. What has changed?

I think it's pretty clear.
And this cast does seem a bit more scrubbed and perky than the original. The performance they gave at the announcement only made them seem more so, peace signs and all.
That said, they have stepped inside the rehearsal studio yet, and Ms Paulus hasn't worked with them. I have faith in her, so I'll venture to say the cast will be pretty wonderful in performance.
And I bet Ace doesn't go nude, but I don't really care...
