No subject

you know you're in trouble.

There are a few exceptions. In the leading role of Claude, Jamie
McKnight shows the energy, vocal power and charm that he developed in
Toronto productions of "The Producers" and "Annie Get Your Gun." Andrew
Kushnir, Matthew Boden and Adrienne Merrell find solid comedy in what
they've been asked to do, but they stand alone.

Craig Burnatowski is a single-expression Berger (sneering), and Karen
Burthwright has one vocal note as Sheila (loud); the rest of the actors
are inept or forgettable.

This limp version of "Hair" is unlikely to attract a new generation of
theatergoers to the work. Sadly, it may even dim the reputation this
piece holds in musical theater history.
