From the NYTimes:

‘Hair’ Has New Way to Spread the Love

HAIR Broadway Revival 2009

“Starting Tuesday night a high-definition video camera, attached near the balcony rail at the Al Hirschfeld Theater, will capture the so-called dance parties at the end of the each performance of “Hair,” when cast members of the musical revival coax audience members onstage to rock out with them as the band plays “Let the Sunshine In.”

“About four hours after each performance the video will be available for anyone to view on hairbroadway.com. Visitors can choose any dance party to download to Facebook pages, or share with friends and others through e-mail or Twitter. Audience members can tag themselves on the videos so that friends can go to the “Hair” Web site and find the precise moment when the person appears on screen.”

Be a part of the LOVE, watch the LOVE, spread the LOVE!

LOVE!

Enjoy the awesome a capella sounds of YouTube sensation Sam Tsui as he covers some of today’s biggest hits. Singing hits from artists like Michael Jackson, Lady GaGa and more — covers have never sounded better.

Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider grew up a street away from each other, in a suburb of Philadelphia, and rode the same bus to school every day for all of middle school and high school.  The first recording they made was with Garageband in a living room, and that might have been the end of the story.  But as it happened, they became the only two kids to go to Yale University from their high school in years.

At Yale, Kurt and Sam collaborated on everything from covers to medleys to an original series “College Musical.”  Everything took off in August 2009 when a Michael Jackson medley written by Kurt and performed by Sam started making waves on YouTube.  The video got featured on Yahoo’s homepage, ABC World News, Entertainment Tonight, and a number of media outlets.  The attention led to TV appearances on the Bonnie Hunt Show, MTV, and the Today Show.

Today, with over 80,000 subscribers on YouTube and over 15 million views on all their videos, Kurt and Sam are a force to look out for in 2010 and a must-hear for fans of “Glee”, “American Idol”, “The Sing-Off” and “High School Musical!”

Kelli O'HaraSo do we!!

Did you miss her in South Pacific? I HOPE not! The NYTimes went to re-review and said:

“And my great admiration for Ms. O’Hara’s luminous performance was
more than confirmed by this last chance to see it. It stands as one of
the most emotionally rich and musically accomplished musical theater
performances of the last decade, but one devoid of fuss and artifice,
rooted in a clear understanding of just who Nellie is and isn’t —
information that is precisely indicated in the book, lyrics and
music.”

If you DID miss her, or you just miss seeing her perform… you’re in luck!

Three-time Tony nominee Kelli O’Hara, who recently completed an acclaimed run in the Lincoln Center Theater production of South Pacific, has lined up several concert dates later this month in California.

She will play the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, CA, Jan. 20 at 7:30 PM; tickets range $55-$100. O’Hara will also take to the stage of The Orange County Performing Arts Center’s Samueli Theater Jan. 21-23 at 7:30 PM and Jan. 24 at 7 PM; tickets are $72.

Broad Stage is located at 1310 11th St. in Santa Monica, CA; for more information visit www.thebroadstage.com. Orange County Performing Arts Center is located at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa, CA; for more information visit www.ocpac.org.
