Und ich will heute da weitermachen, wo die gestrige Sendung endete ‒ bei den Blumenkindern und Hippies, die ihr Zentrum in San Francisco hatten, aber bald auch in Paris oder auf dem Berliner Ku’damm zu sehen waren. Eine Zwischenstation war New York, wo im April 1968 das Musical Hair am Broadway herauskam und zu einem der erfolgreichsten Musicals aller Zeiten wurde ‒ obwohl Aussteiger und Kriegsdienstverweigerer mit langen Haaren, Hass aufs Establishment und Lust auf Drogen und Sex die Hauptrollen spielten. Aber letztlich war gerade diese Mischung auch das Erfolgsrezept.

  • A New Dawn for Hair by Richard Zoglin
    Back to Article Click to Print Thursday, Jul. 31, 2008 A New Dawn for Hair By Richard Zoglin I never saw the original production of Hair, but I did catch the show a couple of years after its 1968 Broadway debut, when the touring company came to San Francisco. I was a student at Berkeley, and I would occasionally take a break from dodging tear gas in Sproul Plaza to usher for plays in the city. It was a good deal: students could spend half an hour helping fat cats find their way to their orchestra seats and, after the curtain went up, take any empty seat for free. Except that the night I saw Hair, the house was full, so the ushers had to sit on the aisle steps in the balcony. Which turned out to be the perfect way to experience the celebrated "tribal rock musical" that brought the communal spirit of the '60s youth culture to Broadway for the first time. It was the greatest night of my theater life. Well, maybe not quite. But allow a baby boomer his memories. (To be honest, I probably didn't call them fat cats either.) And allow Hair--or so even some professed fans of the show have pleaded--to remain in the mists of '60s nostalgia. After a flop 1977 Broadway revival and a not-much-more-successful 1979 movie version directed by Milos Forman, the feeling seemed to harden that the Age of Aquarius was over and trying to bring it back would look hopelessly out of touch, even silly, in this cynical new millennium.

    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLIII, Number 2 Spring 2014 Busted for Her Beauty: Hair’s Female Characters1 Elizabeth Wollman, Baruch College and CUNY Graduate Center When it opened on Broadway at the Biltmore Theatre on 29 April 1968, Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical was hailed by critics and historians as paradigm shifting. While a few critics dismissed the musical as loud, chaotic and confusing, most wrote glowingly of its energy, its ability to harness the commercial potential of the theatrical mainstream to the experimentalism taking place off Broadway, and its disarmingly affectionate depiction of a frequently misunderstood or maligned subculture. Perhaps more importantly, Hair was heralded for managing to do what had been deemed impossible: it brought rock music to Broadway in a way that didn’t offend young audiences and didn’t alienate older ones. “This is a happy show musically,” Clive Barnes enthused in The New York Times. “[Hair] is the first Broadway musical in some time to have the authentic voice of today rather than the day before yesterday.”2 Reception histories about Hair remain over- whelmingly focused on the show’s many inno- vations,3 which I have no intention of debating here; I believe Hair deserves its landmark status. Nevertheless, it has long bothered me that this musical, like the era it came from, tends to be remembered so romantically and uncritically. One aspect of Hair that I find particularly unsettling is a case in point: despite its left-leaning approach to the many social and political issues it tackles, Hair is jarringly old- fashioned in its depictions of women, which no previous scholarship on the musical has exam- ined in depth.

  • Wrinkles, Wormholes, and Hamlet the Wooster Group’Shamlet As a Challenge to Periodicity Amy Cook
    Wrinkles, Wormholes, and Hamlet The Wooster Group’sHamlet as a Challenge to Periodicity Amy Cook Before “The Mousetrap,” but after about 50 lines of director’s notes to the players, Hamlet tells Horatio to observe the play through his observations of the King: There is a play tonight before the King. One scene of it comes near the circumstance Which I have told thee of my father’s death. I prithee, when thou seest that act afoot, Even with the very comment of thy soul Observe my uncle. If his occulted guilt Do not itself unkennel in one speech, It is a damned ghost that we have seen, Amy Cook is Assistant Professor at Indiana University, Bloomington. She specializes in the intersection of cognitive science and theories of performance, theatre history, and dramaturgy. Her research looks at how meaning is made onstage and in performance and how this meaning can scaffold concepts, evoke emotion, and alter the experience of embodiment. She is currently working on a book about conceptual blending theory and Shakespeare’s mirror.

Give him heedful note; For I mine eyes will rivet to his face, And after we will both our judgments join In censure of his seeming. (Shakespeare 1982:3.2.75–87) Hamlet assumes that the King will have a recognizable reaction to the performance of a scene that comes “near the circumstance” of an event he has experienced.
