HAIR has opened in Sydney and moved on to Melbourne for its run down under. Via the grapevine, I heard about one error of judgment in that production. The orchestrations borrowed heavily from the musical arrangements of the movie, and should have been more faithful to the original Broadway arrangements and the authentic 60s feel, which I definitely think the movie lacked. Another comment, heard from an American visitor to the Sydney opening: "the show was terrific."
