HAIR banners are flying up and down the streets of this major Canadian city. Happy to report that casting has just been completed for the upcoming Toronto production of HAIR, opening in March, 2006. Everyone at CanStage where HAIR will play is exhuberant in anticipation and the new Tribe is terrific. May I use this moment to introduce to you two gentlemen from Los Angeles. They are Robert Prior, the director, and Stephen Hues, the choreographer. They come from their own theater company, Fabulous Monsters, and I am working hand in hand with them on what I hope will be a very heartfelt and beautiful rendition of a re-invigorated script wherein some of the story points of the original off-Broadway production are being resurrected. It's all very experimental and, for me, very exciting. A second preliminary laboratory workshop will be held in Los Angeles during the months of December and January, working with Fabulous Monsters, as preparation for the actual Canadian rehearsals with the newly discovered Toronto Tribe in February.
