| THE TEXAS TRIANGLE, July 19, 2002 by Steven Alan McGaw "...players needing singular mention are Quincy Kuykendall as the larger-than-life Hud and Gerard Lebeda as the sexually eclectic Woof. " "...the gleefully nasty Sodomy." "...but the show is truly about the group, and the players clearly know it. The ensemble earns the right to be called a Tribe, and this sense of community permeates the production." |
| THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE, August 9, 2002 by M.B. Rice "[Director Dave] Steakley has assembled knockout performers for this production, each with a unique physical appearance and all with explosive singing voices, dance ability, and stage presence. The collective effort of this culturally diverse casting, along with Steakley's skill at synthesizing individual energies onstage into an electrifying whole, is a tribe that visually and aurally expresses the values of unity at the heart of the piece. Many of the musical numbers in this production are nothing short of celebratory, combining the actors' stellar voices with choreography (by Steakley and Lisa Holstrom) that's tight in the midst of the drug-induced haze of HAIR's world." "This cast, along with Jason Amato's phenominally trippy lighting effects and Allen Robertson's excellent band, give HAIR it's shine." |
